INTRODUCTION.
No department of English history has been less cultivated than that relating
to the domestic economy of the people during the middle ages. There is
no work expressly devoted to the subject; and the scanty notices which are
given by Henry and other historical writers, scarcely deserve mention.
To trace the progress of a nation in the arts of domestic life is, strictly
speaking, to trace its advance in civilization, of which those events which
form the staple of political narratives are but simple results. This pursuit,
however, derives little aid from chroniclers who detail the general history
of their own, or preceding ages. The habits and customs of the past were
unknown to such writers, and it never occurred to them that the every day
life of the times in which they lived, would eventually become an object of
enquiry to posterity, for whose benefit they professed to write. Hence, their
allusions to such matters are of that vague and unsatisfactory nature to be
expected from people who refer to a state of things in which they had been
bred : however, it occasionally happens, that when they record their asto-
nishment at a novelty, or condemn a departure from ancient customs, the
expression of their ignorance, or prejudice, enables us to date the invention
of some useful art, or the importation of an article of convenience, or luxury,
tin then unknown.
But, if historians fail to supply the desired information, other and ample
sources are open to enquiry. Our ancient rhymers and romancers abound in
allusions to, and descriptions of the domestic habits and manners of their
respective eras. We have a long series of the records of criminal trials,
b
which besides illustrating the spirit, necessarily involve some detail of the
most remarkable features in the internal condition of the people, during
successive ages; and many accounts have descended to us of the daily
expenditure of individuals who belonged to the higher ranks of society, and
who consequently enjoyed the few luxuries and additions to the necessaries
of life, which wealth alone could procure in the infancy of commerce.
The present volume is intended as a contribution to this branch of history.
It comprises accounts of domestic expenses at two very distinct periods of
EngUsh story, not less remarkable for the contrast they present in the social
condition of the people, than for the great pohtical events by which they
are respectively distinguished.
Between the insurrection of the barons, in the reign of Henry the Third,
and the contest of the rival houses of York and Lancaster, in the fifteenth
century, there occurs a space of nearly two hujidred years, signalised by
some of the most important changes, not only in EngUsh, but in European
manners and institutions, upon which the historian can dwell ; changes of
which the influence on the general habits of life is conspicuous in this work,
which presents a comprehensive view of the necessaries and conveniences
of life at the first and last of the periods mentioned, and casts a strong light
upon the early condition and progressive improvement of the manufactures,
trade, and commerce of England.
Besides their statistical importance, the following accounts have an
additional value as memorials of individuals celebrated in history.
Although the Countess of Leicester has been more indebted to the renown
of her husband than to any memorial of her own merits, for whatever notice
has been hitherto taken of her career, she appears to have been a remarkable
person considering her sex and the age in which she lived.
A tale the probability of which is rendered credible by more ancient, as
well as more recent, instances of female heroism and devotion, and which
lU
touches one of the most sensitive chords in man's nature, has embahned the
memory of Eleanor of Castile. It is one of those popular and poetical traditions,
associated ■«"ith early notions of history, and rendered familiar by painter and
sculptor, which the critic who would investigate its foundation in truth, must
approach with respect, and doubt with reluctance. Admitting however that
it is a mere invention, the general testimony of history, and the grateful
sorrow of ner husband, who would have perpetuated her name by the beau-
tiful crosses of which so few have escaped the ravages of time and man,
sufficiently attest her virtues as a woman and a wife : and if the graceful effigy
on her tomb at Westminster, which in chaste beauty all but approaches that
ideal standard of perfection at which the sculptor aimed in the best times of
Grecian art, may be considered a portrait, her personal graces were not infe-
rior to her mental endowments.
Sir John Howard whose successful ambition first raised to the peerage a
family than which none has been more distinguished in Enghsh History,
played a conspicuous part in a dark and unhappy period of our annals. The
accounts of his expenditure, during the early years of the reign of Edward
the Fourth, shew that he was a prudent manager of his private fortune ; and
the few remaining specimens of his correspondence throw some light upon
his character, and prove that he possessed an average share of that sort
of education which fell to the lot of persons of rank, in the fifteenth century.
His accounts present also many notices of individuals remarkable for their
share in the ferocious and desolating warfare of the Roses, not a few of whom
paid a heavy penalty for their misdeeds as the fdrtunes and scaflFolds of either
party rose and fell. To the general antiquary and topographer the Howard
Household Books will prove a mine of interesting and valuable information.
Having thus briefly stated the object of this collection, and the nature
of its contents ; it is requisite to give some detailed account of the three
eminent persons to whom it relates, as well as an analysis of the infor-
mation to be procured firom the documents now first printed.
I. The Household Roll, of Eleanok, Countess of
Leicester.
Eleanor, the third daughter of John, King of England, by Isabella of
Angouleme, was bom, probably, about the year 1212 : but for this date,
there is no authority,* beyond what may be derived from the following cir-
cumstances.
Joan, her eldest sister, married to Alexander King of Scotland, in 1221,
is described, by a contemporary writer,* as " a girl of very tender age ;" an
expression which, having regard to the custom prevailing at the time, of
marrying females when they were little more than infants, may be under-
stood to mean that she was about eleven years old ; thereby giving the year
1210 as the period of her birth. Matthew Paris describing the presentation
of Isabella, the second daughter, to the ambassadors of the Emperor Fre-
derick II., who came to ask her in marriage for their sovereign, in 1235,
says she was then in her twenty-first year f according to which her birth
must have occurred in 1214. There is reason, however, to believe that this
statement is incorrect ; for, admitting it to be true, and that Eleanor, the
third and youngest daughter, was bom in 1215, she could have been scarcely
ten years old at the time of her marriage to Wilham Mareschal, in 1225. It
is, therefore, more reasonable to infer, that the historian spoke without
' The years in which the daughters of John were born, are not mentioned by any of the Chro-
niclers. His marriage with Isabella took place in 1200, and it is believed that Henry the Third, born
in 1207, was the first child, as he was the eldest son of his parents. (M. Paris, ed. 1684, p. 189.)
Richard, Earl of Cornwall, the second son, was born in 1208 (lb.), or 1209 (Lelandi Collect, ii.
455). the absence of any evidence that even one of the daughters was born before the year 1207
coupled with the remarks of the Chroniclers, as to their respective ages when married, which go to
prove they were all born after 1208, has induced the adoption, of the years mentioned above.
^ Chronicon de Lanercost, p. 29. s p, 350.
certain knowledge of the age of Isabella, and it is possible that no great
deviation wiU be made from truth, in assigning the births of the second and
third daughters of John to the years 1210 and 1212. According to this cal-
culation Eleanor would have been thirteen at the period of her marriage,
and lAbella twenty-five when contracted to the Emperor of Germany.
William Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, eldest son and heir of the prudent
and vahant nobleman to whose energy and conduct Henry the Third was
indebted for his throne, obtained the young Princess in marriage in 1225.'
After this event we have no mention of her until the death of her husbandj
in 1231.2
In the family of the Mareschals abUity and valour were a common inherit-
ance, and if the Earl of Pembroke was any otherwise" distinguished above
the four brothers who successively inherited his title and property, it was,
perhaps, in being less unfortunate than they were in life. Henry the Third
is said to have been sincerely attached to him, and exclaimed on seeing his
dead body, " Alas ! is the blood of Saint Thomas the Martyr not yet fully
avenged."^
Eleanor was childless at her husband's death, and ample provision had
been made for her widowhood. By his first wife, the daughter of Baldwin
de Bethune, Earl of Albemarle, whom he married in 1204, the Earl of Pem-
broke had acquired many valuable and extensive manors, which were con-
firmed to him by charter in 1 230,^ with remainder to his wife Eleanor, in the
event of her surviving him. She had also an annuity of four hundred pounds
payable by his heirs out of the Irish estates of the family.

in 1226, quoted by Sandford (Genealogical History, p. 87), and printed in the Foedera (vol. i. p. 286) ;
as the marriage is therein spoken of by the King as an event which had occurred some time before.
By some writers, however, the year 1224, is given as the date of their marriage. Ann. Waverl-,

Within four years from the death of her husband, the Countess of Pem-
broke made a vow of perpetual ceUbacy to Edmund^ Archbishop of Canterbury,
and Richard, Bishop of Chichester, receiving the ring and mantle of profession
in public' This solemn engagement was as ill observed as it was, perhaps,
rashly incurred.
The patronage bestowed by Henry the Third upon foreigners, had its
origin quite as much in the necessities of his situation, as in any especial
prejudice in their favour. He had attempted to violate the established laws
of the kingdom, and the fatal example of his father instead of deterring him
from a like course, seems rather to have excited him to try every expedient
to obtain the same objects, the pursuit of which brought John to a prema-
ture grave, and had nearly deprived him of his throne. Having thus
alienated the affections of his nobility and the church, it was not easy to
find, among his own subjects, men sufficiently unscrupulous to aid him in
his endeavours to humiliate and lessen the power of the Barons, and to
plan and carry into execution those rapacious schemes, by which all classes
were in turn pillaged and oppressed. ' Such instruments of extortion were
readily chosen among the Poitevin and Norman adventurers, who flocked to
the English Court. They were promoted to the highest offices in church
and state, and as their sole object was to enrich themselves, and as the
attainment of that object depended on the maintenance of the crown in its
loftiest pretensions to power, the variety of their political inventions was as
endless as their avarice was insatiable.
Among the most distinguished aliens who repaired to England in the early
years of Henry's reign, few could compete, in personal and family advan-
tages, with Simon de Montfort. He came ostensibly to solicit the restora-
tion of his father's estates to his elder brother, Amauri in reahty to get ;
what he could in a country, like even unto a " land flowing with milk and
honey" to the younger branches of the French nobility. Before the success
which attended his appearance is related, it is necessary to give some account

of his parentage, respecting which considerable misapprehension has Ion"
prevailed.
Simon IV., Comte de Montfort, second son of Simon III., snmamed the
Bald, eighth Baron and third Comte de Montfort, also third Comte d'Evreux
of the house of Montfort, by Amicia,' eldest sister and co-heiress of Robert
Fitz-Pemell, Earl of Leicester, inherited, in right of his mother, one moiety
of the county of Leicester, with the Honour of Hinckley and the office of
Lord High Steward of England.
Dugdale says he was created Earl of Leicester in 1206, but no charter of
creation is now in 'existence; the document upon which he founded his asser-
tion, an abstract of which follows, cannot be considered as such.
King John, by a charter dated on the 10th of March, 1206, confirmed the
partition of the lands and honours possessed by Robert, Earl of Leicester,
on the day of his death, made before him and his barons, between Simon de
Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and Saiher de Quenci, Earl of Winchester, to
this effect. Each Earl was to have one moiety of the estates ; the third
penny of the county of Leicester, " unde ipse comes est," the capital mes-
suage at Leicester, and the Stewardship,'' being reserved to Simon de Mont-
fort ; but to the Earl of Winchester were secured forty librates of land out
' The name is both Amicia and Avicia, in English records. She survived her husband many
years, her death being subsequent to that of her brother, who died in 1204. In 1201 Simon de
Montfort, her son, obtained the King's license to mortgage his mother's land at Winterboume Stoke,
Co. Wilts., for three years (Cart. 2 Joh. m. 8, in dorso. This he did probably to raise money for
the purpose of joining the Crusade of 1202. — " Avec ces deux contes (Thibaut, Comte de Cham-
pagne et de Brie, et Louys, Comte de Blois et de Chartres,) se croisserent deux mult halt Baron de
France, Symons de Monfort et Renauz de Mommirail. Mult fu gran renom^e par les terres quant
cil deux halt homes s'en croisserent." — (Ville-Hardouin, Conqueste de Constantinople, ed. Ducange,
Far. 1657, p. 2.) Montfort and others withdrew from the Crusade after the capture of Zara.
(lb. pp. 41-2.) In 1205 the Sheriff of Wilts was directed to give possession of the manor of Win-
terboume Stoke to Amicia, Countess of Montfort, it being a part of her dower. The King had
granted the custody of it to Saiher de Quenci. (Claus. 6 Joh. m. 2.)
' The dignity of Lord High Steward of England was originally annexed to the Honour of Hinckley,
and afterwards to the Earldom of Leicester. Selden's Titles of Honour, in the edition of his works
by Wilkins, vol. 3, col. 687-8.
of the portion of Simon, until such time as the said Earl should obtain his
rationable share of the lands which the deceased Earl of Leicester had pos-
sessed in Normandy. Upon the deaths of the two Countesses of Leicester,
viz., PetroniUa, the mother, and Laurentia, or Lauretta, widow of the late
Earl, the estates held by them, in dower, were to be equally divided between
Montfort and the Earl of Winchester,'
Following the scanty notices of Simon de Montfort IV., which occur in
the records of the reign of John, we find that in 1207, he was indebted to
the crown, and that the custody of all his lands was given to Robert de
Ropeley, who was to apply the revenues thereof, in satisfaction of the King's
claims.^ Not long after this he was banished the kingdom, and his estates
forfeited.^
Although driven from the country he appears to have had a strong party
among the Enghsh nobility, and he did not entirely cease to be a cause of
' Cart. Antiq., K. 17. Notwithstanding this charter, it may be doubted whether Simon de Mont-
fort ever fully enjoyed the share of the Leicester estates thus secured to him. On the death of her
son, in 1204, Petronilla, Countess of Leicester, paid a fine of 3000 marks to obtain possession of
Leicester, with its appurtenances, together with the lands belonging to the Honour of Grantmesnil,
both within, and without the county of Leicester : all which the King granted to her. (Fines, 6
Joh. m. 10.) John resumed these lands in 1205, and regranted them to Saiher de Quenci for a fine
of 5000 marks. (Fines, 7 Joh. m. 10.) However extraordinary this proceeding may appear, it must
be recollected that it took place under the most profligate sovereign who ever filled the English
throne. Thus at the time of the charter quoted above, de Quenci was in actual possession of the
greater portion of Montfort's assigned share, the Honour of Hinckley being parcel of the Grsint-
mesnil fee, of which Petronilla was heiress.
2 Pat. 8 Joh. m. 3. In the same year Ropeley paid into the King's chamber, on the Monday after
the feast of St. Dunstan, one hundred and forty six pounds, thirteen shillings and four pence, out of
the issues of Montfort's Honour of Leicester (Claus. 8 Joh. m. 1.) ; and in the foUo^wing year, on the
feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, he accounted in the sum of 100 marks. (Claus. 9 Joh. m. 17.) The
smallness of these sums compared with the magnitude of his supposed property seems to confirm the
doubt expressed in the preceding note.
' The only authority for this fact, and a worthless one too, is Knyghton, who does not give the
date. (Script. Decem Twysd., col. 2347.) His disgrace must have taken place Before 1208, in which
year he was chosen to command against the Albigeois.

disquiet to John. In 1210 the King was on his road to chastise the Welsh
for their ravages on the English march, when he was stopped at Nottingham,
by the report of a conspiracy among the Barons, who were said to have
elected Montfort King of England. It is probable that this was nothing
more than one of the many rumours of that turbulent period, but, being
recorded by a contemporary annalist,' it may serve to mark the degree of
estimation in which the E^rl of Leicester was held.
During an exile from England protracted to the day of his death, the
military skill of Simon de Montfort was exhibited in the memorable crusades
against the unfortunate Albigeois. The history of these wars ^ is little more
than a catalogue of the deeds of ferocious cruelty perpetrated by his orders
upon the miserable people whom he was commissioned to exterminate.
After ten years of uninterrupted warfare, marked by atrocities which have,
happily, few parallels in the history of mankind, he was slain before Tou-
louse, in the year 1218.'
By his wife Alix, daughter of Bouchard V., Sire de Montmorenci, he
left four sons and three daughters. The sons were Amauri, who succeeded
him as Comte de Montfort, Guy, Comte de Bigorre, Robert who died un-
married, and Simon, the subject of the present notice.
In 1215, the last year of the reign of King John, the Comte de Montfort
had succeeded in obtaining the restitution of his estates, the custody of
which was given to Ranulph, Earl of Chester,* in trust for his use.' It

' He was killed by a stone discharged from the walls of the town : " obiit ad obsidionem Tolosae,
percussus lapide mangunelli." (Ann. de Dunstaple, i. 88 : see also L'Art de verifier les Dates.) In a
writ of the 18th of 'July, 1218, granting the custody of his English estates to the infamous Stephen
de Segrave, the King says, " audiyimus quod Comes Simon de Monte Forti in fata concessit."
(Claus. 2 Hen. 3, m. 3.) In the following month of August, Peter de Roches, Bishop of Winchester,
obtained the custody of his lands. (lb.)

' Pat. 17 Joh. m. 19, Hence Knyghton's error in stating that the county of Leicester, with the
C
appears probable, al^o, that he was partially indemnified for the loss occa-
sioned by his forfeiture.'
It would not have been necessary to give this particular account of
the parentage of Simon de Montfort V., who acted so conspicuous a part in
the troubles of the reign of Henry the Third, but for the fact that, by Eng-
lish historians and genealogists, the Comte de Montfort has been invariably
confoimded with his father, Simon the Bald, Comte d'Evreux, who has thus
been considered to have enjoyed the title of Earl of Leicester, in right of his
wife f the truth being that he died twenty-three years before his brother-in-
law,^ Robert Fitz-Pemell, last Earl of Leicester, of the Bellomont hne. The
annexed pedigree of Simon de Montfort V., founded chiefly upon the autho-
rity of " L'Art de Verifier les Dates," and corroborated by the evidence of
English records, is presumed to be correct ; and wiU materially assist in
elucidating the narrative of his early career in England, which it is now time
to resume.
Already distinguished in arms, tall, handsome, and insinuating in his
Honour of Hinckley, were given to the Earl of Chester, upon the banishment of his uncle.
(Twysden, Script. Dec. col. 2347.) Knyghton is copied by Dugdale (Baronage, i. 752), who
mentions the same grant twuie, and in the second instance gives the terms of it correctly ; but he
evidently considered there had been two distinct charters.
' The mayor and commonalty of Reole, were ordered to indemnify the Archbishop of Bordeaux,
in the sum of 20,000 shillings, (Bordeaux money ?) for which he had become John's security to
Earl Simon de Montfort. (Claus. 16 Joh. ra. 21.)
' One of the first who fell into this error was Francis Thynne, alias Botteville, in his " Discourse
of the Earles of Leicester," printed in the original edition of Holinshed's Chronicles, but suppressed,
being ofiFenaive to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. (Hearne's " Curious Discourses," table of eon-
tents, art. VL) Dugdale consecrated the mistake (Baronage, i. 751), and has been copied by every
writer from Sandford (Genealogical History, p. 87), down to Sir Harris Nicolas (Synopsis of the
Peerage, i. 367). A glimmering of the truth dawned upon the writer of the memoir of Simon de
Montfort, in Nichols's "History and Antiquities of Leicester" (vol. i. pt. 1. p. 99); but in the
pedigree of the Bellomonts (p.- 98) the old story is repeated. Even Ducange represents him to have
been the husband, instead of the son, of Avicia. See his edition of Ville-Hardoiiin, — Observations sur
I'Histoire, p. 250, ed. Par. 1657.

address, young Simon de Montfort speedily attracted the notice and favor of
the weak and capricious Henry the Third.' In 1231 he obtained a grant of
his father's share of the Honour of Leicester,'' and in the following year the
King gave him all the land " with appurtenances " which belonged to " Simon
de Montfort, late Earl of Leicester," in England. This was, in fact a creation
to the Earldom of Leicester, to which his elder brother Amauri, Comte de
Montfort, who had assumed the title, but unsuccessfully solicited from Henry
a confirmation of it, as weU as the restoration of the estates, had resigned all
claim in his favour.*
In 1236 Simon de Montfort assisted at the marriage of Henry to Eleanor
of Provenge, holding the King's basin at dinner ; and in the same year he is
said to have conspired with Peter de Rivaux in procuring the disgrace and
imprisonment of Richard Sward, or Siward,* a valiant knight, distinguished
for his adherence to the Amfortunate Richard Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke.*
While the Earl of Leicester had been making rapid advances in the favor
of his sovereign, he had also succeeded in gaining the affections of the widowed
Countess of Pembroke. By some writers of that age Eleanor is represented
to have been more than imprudent in her advances to him : a statement
countenanced by the King's subsequent conduct and language. However
' The age of Simon de Montfort when he came to England, and the date of his arrival, are, alike,
unknown. His personal appearance is noticed by the Chronicler of Lanercost, p. 39.
' Rot. Fin. 15 Hen. 3, m. 3. — Claus. 15 Hen. 3, m. 8. Dugdale says the estates were restored to
him upon the decease of Ranulpb, Earl of Chester ; he supposed that nobleman had the custody of
them from 1215 till his death in 123! ; when, in fact, they were taken from him in 1218, and
entrusted to the Bishop of Winchester. See p. ix., ante note. 3.
' Pat. 16 Hen. 3, m. 6. The patent recites that the King made the grant at the prayer of
Amauri, Comte de Montfort. See the petition of Amauri and his charter in favour of Simon in Ry mer,

Amauri, which is erroneously assigned to the year 1232, instead of 1239.

this may have been her partiality towards him did not escape the notice of
the pious Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, who strongly remonstrated
with Henry and his sister upon the impiety of their purpose, but without
eflfect,' Montfort and the Countess were secretly married in the King's
private chapel, at Westminster, on the 6th of January, 1238. Henry gave
away the bride, and the ceremony was performed by one of the royal
chaplains.*
A chronicler who is presumed to have been contemporary with this event,
and who, like most of his class, is accustomed to ascribe the residts of political
motives, not very clear, perhaps, at the time, to some remarkable object of
popular wonder or dislike, attributes the voluntary esdle of the Archbishop
of Canterbury to his unsuccessful opposition to this marriage.' The state-
ment is wholly wrong. However, we are told, in language both vivid and pic-
turesque, that the Prelate when leaving England, stood upon a hill which
commanded a view of London, and extending his hands towards the city,
pronounced a parting blessing on his country, and a curse upon the Countess
and the offspring of her unholy union.* It is more than probable that the
unfortunate events of after years suggested the insertion of this story, so
creditable to the prophetical powers of St. Edmund.
' The opposition of the Archbishop is recorded by the Chronicler of Lanercost : — " audacter
obstitit regi ; et sicut nobilis aries sanctus ejus prsedecessor Thomas, tuendam suscepit ecclesiae Dei
libertatem, sic ipse tueri nisus est sponsiE Dei castitatem" (p. 39). It will be recollected that the
Countess had vowed celibacy.
' M. Paris, 393 ; Ann. Waverl., Gale, ii. 197. A strange opinion prevailed among the Chroniclers
that the King promoted this marriage to secure heirs to the crown, the Queen being, as yet, child-
less (Chron. de Lanercost, p. 39) ; and M. Paris, writing of the birth of Montfort's first child, says
it was born "adrcgni robur et solatium. Timebatur enim ne regina sterilis esset" (p. 407). This
too when Richard Earl of Cornwall was living !
3 According to the Annals of Waverley the Archbishop joumied to Rome in 1238, upon the
occasion of a dispute with the monks of Canterbury, but returned within a short time : it was not
until 1240that he entirely withdrew firom England. (Gale, ii. 198 : M. Paris, 476.)
* " Certe etsi genuerit, semen suum non diu permanebit." (Chron. de Lanercost, p. 39.) Heming-
ford who omits Joan, the eldest daughter, in his account of the children of King John, and splits
the Countess of Leicester into two persons, attributes a similar expression to Robert Grostf te, Bishop
of Lincoln (Gale, ii. 560) ; he is copied verbatim by Knyghton. (Twysden, col. 2426.)
XIV
The secret of the marriage was so carefully kept, that although it took
place in January, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, the King's brother, did not hear
of it until the following month of March, and subsequently to receiving a
letter from the Emperor Frederick acquainting him that his sister the
Empress had been dehvered of a son.' His joy at this intelligence was
speedily mingled with indignation when informed of Eleanor's alliance con-
cluded without his knowledge and assent ; and his anger was increased by
Henry having, with equal secrecy, married Richard de Clare, Earl of Glou-
cester, a rich ward of the crown, to the daughter of John de Laci, Earl of
Lincoln.^
Richard accused his brother of bad faith in still continuing to foUow the
advice of aliens whom he had promised to remove from about his person ;
and of rashness in presuming to undertake affairs which so nearly affected
the welfare of the kingdom, without the privity of his natural counsellors.'
Supported in these remonstrances by the nobility who saw, in this distinction
bestowed upon another foreigner, that less dependence than ever was to be
placed on Henry's reiterated professions of amendment. Earl Richard
assumed an offensive attitude — " and then most certainly it was hoped that
he would deliver the country from the miserable rule, as well of the Romans
as of the other aUens by whom it was oppressed ; and all from the child to
the old man heaped frequent blessings upon him." The XiCgate Otho offered
his mediation, which was indignantly rejected, and Henry obtained, with
difficulty, a truce until the first Monday in Lent, to enable him to devise
some method of satisfying the insurgents.^
Tlie beneficial results so anxioiisly and confidently anticipated, from this
shew of power and resolution on the part of the nobility, were not attained.
The malcontents, headed by the Earl of Cornwall, assembled in arms and
great force at London, on the expiration of the truce.= But while the con-
cessions they demanded were discussed by the King's creatures, with artfiil
delay, intrigue was busy with their chief. Through the intercession of

friends, powerfully seconded by valuable presents, Montfort succeeded in
gaining over the Earl ; the insurgents, disgusted by the insincerity and defec-
tion of their leader, quickly dispersed, and the storm so suddenly raised as
suddenly passed away. This conduct, however, " greatly obscured the fame
of Earl Richard ; and thus he who had been thought a staff of strength,
was, henceforth, suspected/"
The Earl of Leicester found, however, that his marriage was generally
regarded as null and void, owing to the sacred obligation incurred by the
Countess during her widowhood. He withdrew, therefore, from court, and
retired to Leicester, where he amassed as much money as he could,, taking
from one burgess the large sum of 500 marks ;^ and shortly afterwards, with
the consent, and under the protection of the King,' set out for Rome, to
procure a dispensation for his wife, whom he left, pregnant, at Kenilworth,
to await the result of his journey.''
In order to obtain greater influence with the Pope, Simon appUed in the
first instance to the Emperor Frederic. It is stated that he bore arms under
himj' if so, it must have been for a very short time. At length, fortified by
his favour and letters of recommendation, he appeared at the papal court,
' Ibid. 396. » Ibid. 396.
' The words of Matthew Paris (p. 396) convey » contrary impression ; but the fact is placed
beyond doubt by the following letters of credence, now for the first time published. " Rex

» The writer of the early portion of the Chronicle of Lanercost, ■*ho says he derived his information
from the confessor of Simon de Montfort, states that the Earl went to Rome in company with his
'wife, " ubi discussa eorum vel vera vel prsetensa causa a domino Gregorio papa, dispensatorie con-
junguntur :" but a doubt is cast upon the accuracy of his account when he proceeds to say " licet
idem bonae fidei comes, ob conscienticB teneritudinem, duodecim annis ab uxoris suae amplexu
abstinuerit ;" an assertion both false and absurd: compare M. Paris, 396.
' M. Paris, 396.

and after spending large sums of money, and promising far more than he
spent, finally succeeded in obtaining a dispensation, which the Legate Otho
was commanded to pronounce in public with due solemnity.'
This grant was severely commented upon by the English clergy, to whom
it seemed directly contrary to the canons of the church, and calculated to
compromise the sanctity of the papal character j but, as the monk of St.
Alban's sarcastically observes, " the court of Rome reasoned more subtilely
than it is permitted unto us to comprehend."*
The Earl of Leicester returned to England on the 14th of October, 1238,*
and was graciously received by the King and his brother. He hastened
from the court to rejoin his wife at Kenilworth, where their eldest son,
Henry, was bom on Advent Sunday following ; and baptized by the Bishop
of Chester, who was taken ill after the ceremony and died within a few-
days.*
On the 2nd of February, 1239, Henry solemnly invested Simon with the
Earldom of Leicester, to which dignity Amauri, Comte de Montfort, again
resigned all claim in his favour.'
The Earl, however, was not destined to maintain an unshaken hold upon
the affections of his fickle sovereign. In the following month of August
many of the nobles and their wives assembled in London, to be present at

release was confirmed by Henry the Third, on the 17th of April, in the same year. Both docu-
ments are printed in the Appendix to Nichols's " History and Antiquities of Leicester," No. xvi.

the churching of Queen Eleanor, who had given birth to Prince Edward in
the preceding July. Amongst the rest the Earl and Countess of Leicester
presented themselves to assist at the solemnity. Henry prohibited them from
attending ; assigned as a reason, that Simon was an excommunicated per-
son, who had basely and wickedly seduced his wife before marriage ; and
added, that he had unwillingly permitted their nuptials to conceal his sister's
shame. Upon this repulse the Earl and Countess withdrew to Winchester
House in Southwark, which, during the vacancy of the see, had been lent
them for a residence. From that place, however, Henry ordered them to be
instantly ejected. Finding that no entreaties could appease the King's real
or affected indignation, and dreading more serious consequences, Simon and
his wife, with a few attendants, took ship in the Thames the same day and
went over to France.'
It is possible there may have' been some foundation for this charge against
the Earl ; but as the King admitted his knowledge of the circumstance to
have preceded the marriage ; and as subsequently to that event, far from
shewing any displeasure, he had bestowed many marks of favour upon him ;
it must be obvious that Henry's sense of Montfort's misconduct was shewn
somewhat too late not to excite a suspicion that his sudden ebullition of
anger was produced by some more immediate cause than that assigned by
him. It wiU be recollected that the Earl of Leicester had, with Henry's
countenance, sought and obtained a dispensatioa for his marriage, that he
was compelled to bribe the papal authorities to an enormous extent, and had
promised more than he actually paid. Relying upon the King's favour and
anxiety to promote the success of his suit he had secretly and wholly ■without
sanction, made him a joint security with himself for the discharge of the
additional sums he undertook to pay.^ Having failed, eventually, to ftdfil
' M. Paris, 422 ; " per Tamesim in cymba minima, cum uxore tunc et pauca familia ad mare
festinanter declinans, continuo transfretavit."
' Henry's language, as recorded by M. Paris, is decisive as to this fact : " ad cumulum etiam mi-
seriiB tuse, me inconsultum et nescium, fidejussorem, per falsum testimonium, interposuisti :" p. 422.
It should be observed, however, that Montfort's credentials gave him full power to use the King's
name in the prosecution of his suit. See p. xv. ante, note 3 .

his engagements, the hungry ItaUans applied to Henry, who then first learned
how greatly he had been involved by the Earl, and hence his violent burst of
indignation. It is quite clear that if his pocket had been untouched the
King would not have troubled himself about his sister's honour. The papal
emissaries hinted, probably, that as the price of the dispensation had not
been duly paid that document could be set aside as readily as it had been
granted ; and Simon be still held liable to excommunication. " Failing in
the payment of the money," said Henry, " you have deserved to be excom-
municated." '
The King's resentment did not last long. After an exile of seven or eight
months, the Earl of Leicester succeeded in effecting a reconciliation with his
royal brother-in-law, and in April, 1240, returned to England, where he
was honourably received. The Countess being again pregnant remaiped
abroad.^
His chief object during a short stay was to collect money to enable him to
join the Crusade, for which Richard, Earl of Cornwall and many of the Eng-
lish ■ nobility were preparing. He had a family motive for sharing in this
expedition ; his brother Amauri having been taken prisoner at the battle of
Gaza, the year before, was yet a captive at Babylon. On this occasion
Simon aUenated some of his lands, particularly the forest of Leicester, which
he sold to the Hospitallers and Canons of that town, for above one thousand
pounds.^
We have no account of the exploits of the Earl during this crusade ; * but
they seem to have gained him some reputation, and he attracted the notice
of the nobility of the unfortunate and distracted kingdom of Jerusalem, who
in June, 1241, petitioned the Emperor Frederick II. to appoint him governor
of the country until the majority of King Conrad, and until he should

come thither, or appoint some other deputy in the Earl's place.' The peti-
tion proceeds :
" And that the aforesaid Lord Simon de Montfort shall swear to keep and
preserve the rights of the Emperor, and of his son. King Conrad, and all
those who are in the land, both the going and coming, and the resident, on land

the people of the country, as underwritten, will swear to keep and maintain him

contemporary copy of the petition, (perhaps the original,) is preserved in the Cottonian MS., Ves-
pasian F. i. fol. 114, and is novf, for the first time, printed.

The reception this petition met with from Frederick is not known. Leices-
ter returned to England in the following year, and accompanied Henry in his
mad expedition into Poitou, where he greatly distinguished himself at the
battle of Xaintes. After Henry quitted the field and retired to Bordeaux,
where he idled his time and expended large sums of money in feasting the
Viscountess of Beam,' and her son, Gaston, Montfort and William, Earl of
Salisbury, remained with him to their great loss and embarrassment long
after most of the nobility, disgusted by the King's thoughtlessness and levity,
had returned to England.
In 1244 Simon was one of the committee, chosen by the nobility and
clergy to deliberate upon the grant of a subsidy to the King;" and in 1246
his name appears among the writers of the letter from the English Baronage
to the Pope, detailing the grievances inflicted upon the realm of England,
by the agents of the court of Rome.*
When St. Louis of France made preparations for another crusade in 1248,
' "Mulier singulariter monstruosa, et pree grassitudine prodigiosa," says M. Paris, 526.
•^ M. Paris, 563-4. 3 Ibid. 613.

Montfort, his immediate retainers, and many of the English nobles assumed
the cross and resolved to join the expedition.' On this occasion he obtained
the King's consent, that for eight years following the day of his death, the
revenues of all his lands of the Honour of Leicester should be applied to the
payment of his debts and the execution of his wUl.^
He was prevented from fulfilling his intention, by being, in the same year,
appointed Seneschal of Guienne,' which had long been in a rebellious con-
dition, and defied aU the efforts of the King's lieutenants to reduce it to
order. In his government of that important province, Montfort displayed
great energy and ability. In the outset, he compelled Gaston de Beam to
agree to a trude, and then turned his arms with success against the smaller
rebels who desolated the country in every direction,* and whom he soon
succeeded in subduing. Gaston, himself, was eventually captured, and sent
in chains to England, Leicester shewed Uttle clemency in his treatment of
the conquered," and from the frequent complaints of the Gascons, during
his subsequent administration of their affairs, it is impossible not to beheve
they had every reason to be dissatisfied with his violence and oppression.'
From the year 1252, when he was recalled from Gascony,' the history of
the Earl of Leicester becomes an essential part of the history of England,

the subject of his marriage. The Countess also, is said to have taken the cross.

Henry, who was anxious to settle the province upon Prince Edward, agreed to give the Earl 7000
marks (£4666. 13i. 4(i.) to surrender his office. This sum was actually paid him by instalments.

and as such is beyond the scope of this notice ; the sole object of which has
been, to trace the early, and obscurer events of his life.
It is well known that he fell in the conflict at Evesham, on the 4th of
August, 1265 ; and the manner of his death was worthy of his reputation for
prowess and courage. Upon being told that his eldest, and favourite, son
Henry vi'as killed, he cried " by the arm of St. James, then it is time for me
to die ;" and grasping his sword with both hands, rushed upon his assailants^
striking with such rapidity and vigour,' that a witness of the scene asserted,
tliat had he had but eight followers like himself, he would have changed the
fortune of the day. Wounded at last, by a blow from behind, he fell from
his horse, and was instantly dispatched, and horribly mutilated by his
victors.'^ According to the chronicler who describes this scene, the esquire
who dealt the wound which brought him to the ground, was afterwards
recommended by Prince Edward, to his sister, Margaret, Queen of Scotland,*
when they met at Haddington previously to his departure for the Holy Land,
and the circumstances of his death afford a curious illustration of the simple
manners of the Scottish court.
Queen Margaret was walking, after supper, by the banks of the Tay, at
Kinclaven Castle, in Perthshire, attended by her maidens and esquires, and
also by her confessor, who told the story to the Chronicler of Lanercost.
The party sat down by the river-side, and the pompous esquire who prided
himself upon having slain Montfort, descended to the water's edge to
wash his hands, which in romping he had soUed with mud. As he stood
leaning over the stream, a damsel came softly behind, and pushed him in.
He took the joke in good part ; « what do I care," he exclaimed, " even
though I were further out, I can swim." But while amid the laughter of the
spectators he floundered about in the water, he suddenly found himself
sinking, and shouted for assistance, which none present could render : his boy
who was playing near at hand, hearing his master's cries ran up and plunged
' " Tanto spiritus impetu, tanta vi canitiei ictus vibrabat." — Chron. de Lanercost,'76.
2 Ibid : see also M. Paris. 3 Ibid. p. 81.
into the river to save him, but they were both drowned. " Thus the enemy
of Simon, and servant of Sathan, who boasted he was the cause of the death
of a valiant knight, perished in sight of all/' '
The career of the Earl of Leicester exhibits the singular picture of a man
who commenced life an object of popxilar aversion, as a foreigner raised by
the crown to high station and wealth ; and ended it in combating, ostensibly,
for the liberties of the people. But as his unpopularity, in the first instance,
was, in some degree unmerited, so the actions which endeared his memory to
the commons of England, who remembered him as " the good Comte de
Montfort," were far from being the result of his love of justice and liberty.
An alien he certainly was by birth, but he represented in the female hne one
of the most distinguished Anglo-Norman families ; to the title of which,
borne by his father before him, he had an undoubted claim : the English,
however, regarded him only as a stranger suddenly elevated to power and
clandestinely allied to the sovereign. A woeful experience perhaps led them
to anticipate, he might prove a worthy rival in oppression to Peter de Roches
or Peter de Rivaux.
Great mistakes arise both in writing and reading history, firom a confusion
of terms. In the thirteenth century the phrase "people of England,"
signified the greater and lesser baronage, the clergy and the citizens of
London. Thus when chroniclers state that the King invaded the liberties
of the people, we must understand that the privileges of an aristocracy were
threatened, and the franchises of a city disregarded. Such were the people
who firamed and extorted the fallacious security of the Great Charter from
John, and such the people whose liberties, as defined by that charter, the
Earl of Leicester undertook, originally, to defend against Henry the Third.
But when the power of the crown was annihilated, and the sovereign

himself a prisoner in the hands of his insurgent nobihty ; the union arising
from a common interest in the struggle, which had thus far ensured their
success, was no more. The several leaders regarded each other with distrust ; '
and Leicester, whom a strong current of prosperity had hurried on, from the
simple vindication of acknowledged, but outraged rights, to that pitch of
elevation which produced an ambitious uncertainty of purpose, was com-
pelled to maintain his declining ascendancy among the barons, by creating a
new party; which should be essentially his own.^ It was thus that he first
breathed hfe into the real people of England, by tracing the outlines of
popular representation, and from being the champion of an oligarchy
attempted to become the dictator of a democracy. He failed in his scheme,
only because the nation was awkward in the use of its new privilege. To
say that Montfort was influenced to this course by any other than selfish
motives,' or that he had a just idea of the power of the machine which he
attempted to set in motion, would be to give him more credit than history
and mankind have usually granted to political inventors, and to claim for him
more transcendant abilities, and a mind more in advance of his age, than
any action of his life can warrant us in believing him to have possessed.
Popular as the Earl of Leicester was with the comilions of England, he
found equal favour with the English church, which he freed from papal extor-
tion, under which it had so long writhed. The chroniclers of his deeds were
churchmen ; to them no epithet of praise seemed too extravaganf to be
' The Earl of Gloucester, jealous of Montfort's power, and suspicious of his motives, seceded from
him after the battle of Lewes. M. Paris, 854-5.
' The first writs for the election of knights of the shire and burgesses were not issued until the end
of the year 1264 and the beginning of 1265.
' An inspection of the Patent and Charter Rolls for the period between the battle of Lewes and that
of Evesham will show that Montfort lost no time in securing to himself and family all that he possibly
could. These documents have been used for the notes to the Household Roll ; and many of his acqui-
sitions are noticed by Dugdale (Baronage, i. 751 et seq).
* " Constans fuit in verbo, severus in vultu, maxime fidus in orationibus religiosorum, ecclesias-
ticis magnam semper irapendens reverentiam ;'■ such is the language of the continuator of Matthew
Paris ; see also the Annals of Waverley and the Chronicle of Lanercost.

applied to him, and their gratitude invested with the dignity of a martyr and
a saint,' a man who perished under sentence of excommunication.^
Of the personal character of Simon de Montfort Kttle is known. He was
eminent for prowess and courage in an age essentially martial ; and, like his
father, remarkable for cruelty, amid the general ferocity of his time. His
favourite oath has been recorded. He swore "by the arm of St. James"
when he assented to the constitutions of Oxford,^ and the same exclamation
escaped him as he rushed upon certain death at the battle of Evesham.
By the Countess of Pembroke the Earl of Leicester had five sons ; Henry,
Simon, Guy, Amauri and Richard ; and a daughter named Eleanor.
Henry de Montfort, as already mentioned, was slain with his father at
Evesham. He was the godson of King Henry ; and Prince Edward, who
had passed his boyhood in his company, and was greatly attached to him,
assisted in person at his funeral.* Simon, after the surrender of Kenilworth
Castle in December, 1266, fled abroad, and was shortly followed by his
brother Guy, who had been imprisoned in Dover Castle, but bribed his
keepers and escaped.' The two brothers went to Tuscany ; and when Henry
the son of Richard, King of the Romans, passed through Italy in the suite of
Philip of France, on his return from the Holy Land, in I271, they met and
assassinated him, while at mass in the church of St. Lawrence, at Viterbo.*

The baseness of this deed was aggravated by the circumstance of Simon
having been indebted for his own life to the intercession of the King of the
Romans, when he surrendered to the royal party, at Northampton, in 1266.'
Of Amauri, Richard, Eleanor, and the Countess, some further account will be
given hereafter.

forth the preceding remarks, commences on Thursday, the 19th of February,
1265. Before proceeding to examine such portions of it as exhibit ghmpses
of the domestic economy of a person of rank in the thirteenth century, it is
important to shew that the history of the few eventfid. months preceding the
final struggle between Montfort and the royal party, derives some illustration
from its contents.
The consequence of the victory gained by the Earl of Leicester at Lewes,
on the 14th of May, 1264, had been to place in his hands the persons of
at Viterbo on the morrow of the Feast of St. Gregory, the day of the murder. The French King's
account is as follows. "Ad vestrae serenitatis notitiam jocundiores libenter dirigeremus rumores, si
nobis eos divina miseratio indulsisset. Sed nunc nova quffidam molesta et tristia vobis compellimur
ixunciare, quae nos in crastino beati Gregorii existentes Viterbii, et in ecclesia Fratrum Minorum
Viterbiencium missarum solempnia audientes ex relatibus quorundam fidedignorum didicimus ; vide-
licet, quod Gwydo et Simon de Monteforti, milites, in karissimum consanguineum nostrum dominum
Henricum, priraogenitum vestrum, dum, dictis die et hova, in quadam alia capella Viterbii ante suum
hospitium esset, causa audiendi missam, seu orandi, manu irruerunt armata, et ibidem eum, insti^ante
diabolo, occiderunt, quod vobis referimus non absque vehementi cordis nostri amaritudine et dolore."
This document, as yet unpublished, is preserved in the contemporary Chronicle, in the MS. entitled
" Liber de Antiquis Legibus," belonging to the Corporation of London. It is said they mistook
Henry for Prince Edward (Chron. de Lanercost, p. 91). Matthew of Westminster agrees with the
preceding narration, and relates that the event was commemorated by a painting on the wall of the
church, executed at the expense of the citizens of Viterbo (p. 401). According to the same writer
and Walsingham, the church was dedicated to St. Silvester, not St. Lawrence. (Ibid Walsin-'ham
p. 44.) It should be obsenred, however, that M. Paris (p. 859), the Chronicle of Lanercost fp. 91),
and Walsingham (p. 44), mention Guy only, as the perpetrator of the crime.
1 M. Paris, 857. M. of Westminster tells us that Simon died in the same year, 1 27 1, in a castle near
Sienna ; p. 401 . On the other hand, the Annals of Dunstable say that he and his brother Richard
died in France : ii. 419. Guy married in Italy. -SeeDugdale.

Henry the Third and Prince Edward, of Richard, Bang of the Romans and
his two sons, Henry and Edmund, the former of whom was called Henry of
Germany. At the close of the year 1264, Prince Edward was imprisoned
in Wallingford Castle.' Bearing in mind these facts we shall now proceed to
trace the movements, and, as far as possible, the actions, of the Comitess
during the year 1265.
On the 19th of February we find her at Wallingford. On the 20th she
moved to Reading, accompanied, among others, by her youngest son Richard
de Montfort; and on the 22nd arrived at Odiham Castle,^ where she
remained until the 1st of June,
On the 17th of March, Prince Edward and Henry of Germany came
from Wallingford to Odiham, in the company, or rather custody of Henry
de Montfort.^ They seem to have repaired thither to await the coming of
the Earl of Leicester, who was expected, and arrived on the 19th.^ Their
retinue was considerable, for the number of horses in the castle stables was
increased, by their coming, from 44 to 172; and after the Earl reached
Odiham the number rose from 172 to 334.'
The Earl stayed a fortnight with his wife ; leaving on Wednesday the 1st
of April.^
' M. Paris. " pp. 3-4. ' p. 13.
' These facts corroborate in some degree, the remark with which the continuator of Matthew Pans
begins the year 1265. — " Comes autem Simon Regem Angliae, et Jilium ejus Edwardum eductum u
IValingfordia, secum tam anno prseterito quam pKesenti circumduxit." His statement, however,
that the King of the Romans was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and that Prince Edward and
Henry of Germany were sent to Dover Castle, is entirely disproved by the roll ; which shews that
the King was confined at Kenilworth ; and if Edward was at Dover, at all, in 12C5, it could only have
been for a few days, as he was at Odiham till the 1st of April, and escaped from Hereford, on the
28th of May. It is possible that Henry of Germany may have remained with the Countess for a
short time after the departure of the Earl, as we find an item for the food of his hounds, besides
payments to his huntsmen (pp. 15-32-36-40), but they left Odiham for Woodstock on the 30th of
May.

Among the guests entertained by the Countess during her residence at
Odiham, were the Abbot of Waverley,* who visited her on the 24th of
February, and again on the 25th of April; some of the Nuns of Wintney,
Master Nicholas a physician, the Prioress of Wintney, Robert de Brus, Sir
Thomas Astley, a Warwickshire knight, the Prioress of Amesbury, the
Countess of Oxford, and her son Amauri de Montfort, Treasurer of York,
who came with 13 horses. On the 14th of April, the Countess fed eight
hundred paupers, who consumed, inter alia, three quarters of bread and a tun
of cider.^
At this time, and indeed for long afterwards, Richard, King of the Romans,
was in confinement at KenUworth castle, whither the Countess sent to him,
on the 30th of March, dates and spicery;' on the 3rd of May, her tailor
purchased for him, at London,* twelve ells of scarlet cloth for his robes
against the feast of Whitsuntide ; and six eUs and a half of rayed cloth, dyed
in grain, for his son Edmund, for whom, also, were bought nine eUs of
rayed cloth of Paris, to make a smnmer robe, tunic and cloak. The tailor
purchased besides the above, four satin hoods for the King and his son ;
one fur and a half, and a hood of miniver ; the King had the hood. These
articles were dispatched to Kenilworth on the 9th of May.'
Among the items of the Countess's miscellaneous expenditure, while at
Odiham, may be noted a payment of 10.«. to the nvms of Wintney,' for
working a cape for her chaplain ; and the purchase at London of laurel-oil.^
One of the damsels, perhaps Eleanor de Moutfort herself, being unwell, a
barber is brought from Reading to bleed her.^ Master Roger, Prince
Edward's barber, had his biU, or the arrears of his salary,- paid, amounting to
13.S. \.d?

The movements of the Earl of Leicester during the early months of the
year 1265, are very indistinctly related by the continuator of Matthew
Paris,' We have already seen that he was at Odihara from the 19th of
March to the 1st of April; from two payments to couriers sent to him with
letters, it appears that the Countess believed him to be at Gloucester, on the
30th of April, and at Hereford, on the 29th of May.'' It was in the evening
of the 28th of May that Prince Edward escaped from his custody at Hereford.'
On the 1st of June, by which time the news of that important event might
have reached her, the Countess left Odiham, and travelled* during the night
to Porchester, under the guidance of Dobbe her parker, or shepherd.'
Her retreat to Porchester was probably induced by its being a stronger
place, and, at the same time, garrisoned by her son Simon.^ The Countess
could not but have foreseen that the escape of the Prince would produce
important consequences, to meet which she endeavoured to make due
preparation.
At Porchester the Countess remained until the 12th of June, and then
proceeded to Bramber Castle, by way of Chichester, where she dined. ' From
thence to Wilmington on the 13th; to Winchelsea, through Battle,^ on
Sunday the I4th,° and arrived at Dover on the following Monday." Her
journey from Porchester to Dover seems to have been made in great haste.
Many horses and carts were borrowed and hired for the carriage of her
attendants and luggage. Among others the Countess of Arundel lent a
chariot and five horses ; the Prior of Tichfield sent a hackney which was

ridden by a damsel, and a horse belonging to the Prior of Southwick carried
Hicqe the Countess's tailor.' Her retinue altogether required 84 horses,
that being the number provided for at Bramber,^ and besides this a portion
of her baggage, or " harness/' was sent round by sea to Dover, the hire of
the boat costing 'Js. Jd.^
At Dover the Countess, and her women, were lodged in the castle :* the
rest of the household appears to have been quartered in the town. She was
now in a secure position. Her son Henry was constable of Dover, and
Warden of the Cinque Ports ;' and although at this time he was absent from
his charge, the castle was garrisoned by the Leicester faction. She had the
command of the sea, and, should the course of events require it, could escape
from the country with speed and safety. In her journey along the coast the
Countess had not omitted to endeavour to secure the fidelity of the Cinque
Ports. During her short stay at Winchelsea, on Sunday the 14th, she gave
a dinner to the Burgesses, at which two oxen and thirteen sheep were eaten,
besides a due proportion of other fare.' Some idea may be formed of the
number of the guests, when it is found that provision was made for 195
horses ; the number in her own train being only 84 ; the other 111 appear
to have belonged to the retinue of her son Simon, whom she met at Wil-
mington and who escorted her from thence to Dover.
On Wednesday, the 1 7th of June, she entertained the Burgesses of
Sandwich ■/ and on the next Sunday sent wine to the ambassadors of the
King of France,^ Sir Drogo de Noyon and Friar Boniface ; and lodged and
rewarded two monks of Hereford, who had, probably, brought the ambassa-
dors from that town whither it is beheved they had been to see the Earl.'
By the latter end of June the aspect of the Earl of Leicester's affairs
became very serious. Prince Edward, having raised a large army, had over-

ninthe counties of Hereford, Worcester, Salop and Chester; taken the town
of Gloucester by assault ; and was preparing to effect a junction with the
forces led by the Earl of Gloucester.' Before he could engage their united
armies the Earl required to be reinforced : and, on the 24th of June, Simon
de Montfort, jun., marched from Porchester ^ to Tunbridge ' on his way to
join his father, whom, it appears probable, he had agreed to meet at Kenil-
worth Castle. On this emergency the household of the Countess suppUed
him with nine horses, four of which belonged respectively, to her cook, clerk,
butler, and farrier.* The roll shews that Simon passed through London,' on
his road to Warwickshire, with the double object, perhaps, of confirming the
citizens in their rebellion, and of gathering recruits among them ; on the 8th
of July the Countess sent Sir Fulk Constable and others who had recently
joined her at Dover, together with Master WilUam an engineer, to join him
at the capital. They received 20s. for their expenses.*
It is well known that Leicester never received this expected aid. Edward,
who had notice of their march to KenUworth, joined the Earl of Gloucester ;
left Worcester, on the evening of the 1st or 2nd of August, and surprising
them while asleep in their camp without the walls of the castle, slew a great
number, and captured the earl of Oxford, with other persons of note. Simon
with the remnant of his followers barely succeeded in retreating into the
fortress.^ From KenUworth the Prince returned to Worcester; and the
position he subsequently occupied with his allies, effectually prevented the
Earl from joining his son, and the son from marching to the assistance of his
father. Under this disadvantage Leicester fought the battle of Evesham, on
the 4th of August.

We now return to the Countess, at Dover. On Sunday, the 12th of July,
some of the Burgesses of Sandwich and Winchelsea dined with her.' The
men of the latter place were again entertained on the 30th.
On the 1st of August, she sent a messenger to the Earl, and paid the
freight of a ship which brought an engine, probably, a mangonel, firom
Pevensey to Dover j^ a sign that she was providing for the defence of the
place. On the 12th, Richard de Montfort came by sea from Winchelsea, in
a ship with a crew of about one hundred sailors, for which 100s. were paid.^
We now meet with items which point to the end of this eventful story.
On the 15 th of August, a letter is brought to the Countess from Prince
Edward ;* it would be assuming too much to suppose it was the first notifi-
cation she received of her husband's fate ; the news must have reached Dover
much sooner through those who escaped the slaughter of the fight.' How-
ever, on the 19th of August, she makes an offering of 12s. 9d. for the repose
of his soul,^ and on the 3d of September, a further sum of 7*-'' is given for
the same object. There is also a payment, without a precise date, for 12 eUs
of black say for a robe and nether garments for Richard de Montfort.^
The daily account of the household expenditure ends on the 29th of
August,' at which time the Countess seems to have experienced a scarcity of
provisions at Dover, as during the last week certain oxen and sheep were
procured by foraging.'"
The misceUarieous expenditure, however, yields glimpses of her proceed-
ings until the end of September ; and aifords a remarkable confirmation of
the general truth of the fact mentioned in Henry's letter to the King of

France, which is given in the Appendix, No. III.,' viz. that the Countess
sent her sons Amauri and Richard to France with a large sum of money,
1 1 ,000 marks. We have no mention of Amauri, but on the 13th of Septem-
ber, there are purchases of shoes of cow-hide, russet boots, and other articles
of dress for Richard de Montfort; and on the I8th of September, 26s. 8d.
were paid for his passage to Gravelines.^ His destination was Bigorre;
whither he was preceded by Peter de ViQeneuve and Amald de St. Crist who
had not long before arrived in England,* probably with letters to the Coun-
tess, from her kinsman Eskivat,^ Count of that district of France.
On the 29th of August, the Countess discharged Master William the
engineer," a circumstance which leads to the beUef, that she had abandoned
all notion of defending Dover Castle : but from messengers being sent to
Kenilworth on the 2nd of September^ and 1 st of October^ it may be pre-
sumed she took a great interest in the preservation of that stronghold, which
was now the rallying point of the scattered adherents of her late husband.
When the garrison were summoned to surrender to the King in the early
part of the year, 12G6, they repUed they had received the custody of the
castle from the Countess of Leicester, " lately driven from the kingdom,
and that they would not treat with any living person for the surrender of it,
excepting the Countess herself were present."* Accordingly they defended
the place for six months, when, their stock of provisions being exhausted,
they cfvpitulated, on the 21st of December.'
The latest date mentioned in the roU is the 1st of October, in which month
it is believed the Countess of Leicester withdrew from England. The con-
tinuator of Matthew Paris says she left the country soon after the battle of
Evesham.'"

Such are the remarkable points in the history of the Countess of Leicester
and her family, during the year 1265, as developed by her Household Roll.
Much minuter detail is necessarily left to be gleaned by the curious anti-
quary; as an attempt to weave the less important facts into a narrative
form, would have extended this notice beyond all reasonable limits.
" After leaving England, the Countess took up her residence in the Domin-
ican convent at Montargis, which had been founded by one of her husband's
sisters.' In 1266 St. Louis of France attempted to effect either a reconciliation
between Eleanor and her brother Henry, or to procure the restitution of her
confiscated estates. Henry's reply is printed in the Appendix,^ after advert-
ing in strong language to the injuries he had suffered from the Earl of
Leicester and his sons, as well as from the Countess, he agrees to abide by
any decision, which, after due consideration of the case, Louis might arrive
at. It does not appear that any arrangement was made during the short
time that Henry the Third survived his sister's banishment. However in
1273, her nephew Edward the First, restored the lands which she had held
in dower from the Earl of Pembroke, her first husband.^ She died in
1274.^
A.mauri de Montfort who was deprived of his ofiice of Treasurer of York
three days after the battle of Evesham,* accompanied his mother to France,
together with his sister Eleanor, who had been contracted, during her father's
life time, to Llewellyn, Prince of Wales.^ In 1276 she embarked under the
protection of Amauri to join her intended husband, but was captured near
tenus reversura." Her native country was England, for " petiit," therefore we should read reliquit.

the Scilly Islands,' by four ships belonging to the port of Bristol.* Their
captors sent them to Edward, who placed Eleanor in the family of his Queen,
and imprisoned Amauri, first at Corfe, and afterwards at Sherborne Castle.'
The King's motive for treating him thus severely was that he believed him
to have been an accomphce of his brothers Guy and Simon in the murder
of Henry of Germany.'' There is every reason to believe that Amauri was
in Italy about that time, as the Bishop of Chichester on his return from
Rome (whither he had been sent by the Legate to answer to the Pope for
his adherence to the Earl of Leicester) received him into his train with the
intention of taking him to England. Edward was so much irritated at this,
that he immediately took possession of the Bishop's barony and ordered an
armed galley to be on the look out to capture them in crossing the
channel." They seem however to have got scent of the King's intention, and
therefore stopped short at Paris, upon which Edward dispatched an emissary
thither for the purpose of luring them into his hands, a plan which failed of
success.'
In 1279 Edward married Eleanor to Llewellyn with great pomp, paying the
expenses of the ceremony.'' Amauri was set at liberty in 1280,'* at the inter-
cession of Pope Martin IV., or, according to others, of Peckham, Archbishop
of Canterbury. He was one of the executors of his mother's will, some pro-
ceedings respecting which are noticed in the Appendix.' After his liberation
he repaired to Rome, obtained a remission of his vows as an ecclesiastic,'" and

was afterwards knighted. It has been ahready mentioned that Richard de
Montfort went to Bigorrej nothing certain is known of his after career. ^
We have nOw to consider the household roU of the Countess of Leicester
in relation to the domestic economy of her age ; in doing this it will be
desirable to throw together some general observations upon the private life
of the English during the thirteenth century.
The first item which occurs in the daily accounts of provisions consumed
in the family is bread. It is apprehended, however, that grain or flour was
designated by the general term "panis." We ^cidpanis taken out of store,
purchased, or sent by the reeves of the Countess's manors ; and the quantity
is measured by the quarter or bushel. The words "panis defroille," which
frequently occur, probably signified ground corn ; that is supposing "froille"
to be a derivative of the old French \&Tax, froyer, to break or crush."
It would appear that bread of difiierent degrees of fineness was used ; thus
there is " bread purchased for the Countess,"^ and " bread for the kitchen."
Loaves or cakes made of bolted flour, and called " boletella," are twice men-
tioned,'' as well as " gastelli," cakes or wastels, perhaps biscuits ; ' on one
occasion half a quarter of flour is set down for pastry.* It is reasonable
to infer that the bread generally used in the family was made of the
grain called mystelon, a term yet in use at the beginning of the sixteenth
century, and applied to a mixture of wheat and rye.^ As the dogs were fed
' He is said to have eventually settled in England under the assumed name of Wellysbome ; an
assertion founded upon tvf o or three deeds of very doubtful authenticity ; see extracts from them in
the " History and Antiquities of Leicester," vol. 1, pt. ii. App. p. 39.
' It is possible, though we do not think it probable, that " panis de froille" or " froyle," meant
grain brought from the village of Froyle, in Hampshire. See p. 41, first lines of the last paragraph.

with corn ' it may be concluded that the servants fared no worse ; at any
rate there is no distinct notice of bread made of barley, oats, or the more
inferior grain which were commonly used in France and other countries.^ It
is not clear that their bread was leavened with yeast as that article occurs but
once,' and then in connection with malt.
The price of the quarter of wheat or rye, varied from 5s. to 5s. Sd. ; of
oats from 2s. to 2s. 4d.;* twenty-five quarters however were bought at Sand-
wich, at Is. lOd,^ When grain was brought from the Countess's manors,
some of the prices were rather below the average. The bailiff of Chalton
was allowed 5s. the quarter for wheat, 4s. for barley, and 2s. 4d. for oats; "
the bailiff of Brabome had 4s. 4«?. for wheat, and Is. 3d. for oats.'
The item which follows bread is wine, of which only two sorts are named
in the early part of the roll, red and white. The wines drank in England
during the thirteenth century came chiefly from Guienne ; others were from
the vineyards of Anjou, Aucerne and Poitou. Gascon wine is not specially
mentioned until towards the end of the document, in August,^ when that,
and the wine called Bastard became the general drink of the family. The
term Bastard was given to all mixed ' and sweetened wines ; an English
writer, however, who lived in the early part of the fifteenth century, reckons
Bastard among those wines which were naturally sweet, and, therefore,
unwholesome.'" It is called sweet wine in the roll. Little information is
' p. 15 ; " Item vj. bus. frumenti de stauro, pro canibus."
' From an account of the bailiff of the royal manor of Marlborough it appears that the grains
generally cultivated in the thirteenth century were wheat, " berecom," barley, " dragg", vetch and
oats ; with beans and pease. Rot. Pip. I. Edw. 1. ( 2aus Rot. Comp. in dorso.)

given as to the price of wine : we find that the sum of 9s. 2d. was paid for
twenty-two gallons,' and that two tuns cost 31. 6s. 8d.^
Turning from wine to beer, it may be remarked that in the thirteenth
century the English had no certain principle as to the grain best suited foi*
brewing. The roll shews that beer was made indiscriminately of barley,
wheat, and bats, and sometimes of a mixture of all.' As the hop was not
used we may conjecture that the produce of their brewing was rather insipid
and not calculated for long keeping : it was drank as soon as made. To
remove the mawkish flatness of such beer it was customary to flavour it with
spices and other strong ingredients ; long pepper continued to be used for
this purpose some time after the introduction of hops.* The period at which
the last-named plant became an ingredient of EngUsh beer is not precisely
known. It was cultivated from a very early date in Flanders and Belgium,
where it was both employed in brewing, and eaten in salads ; ' and from those
countries it was imported into England while the produce of our own hop-
grounds was inconsiderable. It would appear, however, that hops were
used in this country for brewing, in the beginning of the fifteenth century,
as Gilbert Kymer in his " Dietary," pronounces beer brewed from barley,
well hopped {bene lupulata,) of middling strength, thin and clear, well fined,
well boiled, and neither too new nor too old, to be a sound and wholesome
beverage.^ It is pretty certain, nevertheless, that in his time the hop was
not grown in England.''

In ancient days brewing was almost solely managed by women,' and till
the close of the fifteenth century the greater part of the beer houses in Lon-
don were kept by females who brewed what they sold. It wiU be observed
that the Countess had employed a breweress of Banbury, whom she dis-
charged on 2nd of March, paying 5s. for her wages and Is. 6d. for her
expenses homewards.^ On another occasion the brewing was performed at
the Maison Dieu at Dover, the brethren or sisters of which, hke the gene-
rality of monastic folk, were probably skilled in the art, through long prac-
tice in brewing for themselves. They had the draflf for their pains.^
The quantity of beer consumed in the family was very great. On the
18th of April, they brewed five quarters of barley, and four of oats : on the
25th of the same month they purchased 188 gallons of beer, and on the
29th brewed again, seven quarters of barley and two of oats being used.
The prices of the different kinds of malt are not distinctly given. Two
quarters of wheat-malt, eight quarters, two bushels of barley-malt, and four
quarters of oat-malt cost 43*. d^d.^ At Odiham the sum of 2s. 3d. was
paid for malting twenty-seven quarters of wheat.' The cost of beer when
purchased varied, from something less than a halfpenny, to three farthings
per gallon.
Flemings, and forgerie dailie practised in this kind of ware, gave us occasion to plant them here at
home : so that now we may spare and send manie ouer vnto them." He wrote in the middle of the
xvith century. The brewer of Henry VIII. in the beginning of whose reign, according to Fuller,
they were first generally introduced (Worthies, i. 337), was enjoined not to put hops or brimstone
into the king's ale. Archicologia, vol. iii. p. 157.

' p. 41. Harrison's wife brewed "three hoggesheads of good beere" from eight bushels of
malt, half a bushel of wheat meal, and as much of oatmeal. " I value my malt at ten shillings, my
wood at four shillings, which I buye, my hops at twentie pence, the spice at two pence, seruants"
wages two shillings six pence, with meat and drinke, and the wearing of my vessell at twentie
pence, so ■ that for my twentie shillings I haue ten score gallons of beere or more ;" &c. " The

Before quitting the subject of fluids it may be noted that cider is men-
tioned once, but in such a manner as to convey the impression that it was
not in very great estimation ; the Countess gave one tun among eight hun-
dred paupers.' The little cider used at this period was, probably, imported
from Normandy.
As the family consumed so much wine and beer it is not probable that
they dranls any very considerable quantity of water. That necessary article,
however, was sometimes purchased for general purposes,^ and, when not
actually bought, the necessity of bearing it from a distance, led to a compa-
ratively large expenditure.^
Milk, of which a good deal was used daily, ought, perhaps, to be con-
sidered under another head, but for the sake of convenience it is here
included among other hquids. The minuteness of these details may be
shghtly relieved by giving Master Gilbert K}Tner's estimate of the compara-
tive value of the several varieties of it : " lac vero mulierum est optimum
genus lactis, deinde azinarum, deinde caprinum, deinde cameUinum, deinde
equarum, deinde vaccinum, de hinc ovinum."* Although cow's milk stands
fifth in his list we may safely assert that it satisfied our ancestors as well in
the thirteenth as in the fifteenth century. Cream and butter were occa-
sionally purchased, but not in very large quantities.' It is possible that both
were scarce. Cheese is mentioned rather frequently, but it seems to have
been oftener cooked than eaten raw ; the favourite method of preparing it for

doubting the cleanliness of the Countess, when it is seen that her washing bill from Christmas to the

table was in the shape of tarts ; " casd pro tartia."^ Kymer believed that
cheese taken after dinner acted, " tamquam ciborum oppressor,'^ but adds
this salutary caution ; " modicum tamen quia durae est digestionis, et melan-
coliam multiplicat."^ A poise of cheeses contained sixteen, and cost 8*.,^ but
we have no knowledge of the precise weight of the poise.
The reader of the roll wiU not fail to observe the strictness with which
Lent was observed, as well as the general abstinence from flesh meat on
Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, a subject which naturally leads to some
enquiry respecting the fish most in repute during the century to which the
document belongs.
The distinguishing peculiarity not only of Enghsh but of European taste
in food, during the middle ages, was a predilection for strong, and, in some
cases, for coarse flavours. To what other cause can we ascribe the appear-
ance of the flesh of the whale, grampus, porpoise, sea-calf, sea-wolf and other
such fish, at the tables of sovereigns and people of rank, by whom they
were considered delicacies ?
The practice of eating the whale and grampus may be traced, in England,
to the Saxon sera. In the law made by King Ethelred, which regulated the
tolls to be levied at Billingsgate, the men of Rouen who came " cum vino
vel craspice," are mentioned; under the term " craspiscis," were com-
prised the whale and other blubber fish. As the twentieth piece of the fish
was to be exacted for toll, we may infer that it was imported either dried or
salted.''
The first use of these fish has been attributed to that remote period when
' Brie cheeses were known in England during this century. In 1278 Edward the First sent his
tailor, Adinett, to Paris, to make various purchases ; inter alia, he bought " of Thomas le Gaunter
one hundred cheeses of Brie, for the King and Queen, price 35s." Rot. Miscell., in Tnrr. Lond.,

the herring and cod were unknown. However this may have been it is cer-
tain that the custom continued long after the latter and better fish became
plentiful and cheap. The salted herrings of Yarmouth were in great repute
during the twelfth century ; yet, we see that choice morsels of whale were
eaten, by way of variety, during Lent, and other fasting times, at a period
when, in addition to herrings, salted cod, and hake or Poor John, had been
long in general esteem as Lenten food. Indeed it is not quite certain that
these gross fish were entirely out of vogue in the fifteenth century ; for Kymer
expressly denounces the flesh of the whale, sea-calf, cuttle-fish, &c. as highly
prejudicial to health.' So late as the year 1531, the porpoise is enumerated
among the fish to be served at the table of Henry the Eighth ; and if one
fish should be more than a horse could bear, due allowance was to be made
to the purveyor for the expense of carriage.^
Some notion may be formed of the quantity of whale, &c. which was
eaten in England during the thirteenth century, when we find Henry the
Third, in Lent 1246, ordering the Sheriffs of London to purchase for him,
in the city, 100 pieces of the best whale, and two porpoises -.^ the roll informs
us that two hundred pieces, or two cwt., were bought for the Countess of
Leicester and tlie King of the Romans, previously to Palm Stinday, 1265,*
besides which grampus or porpoise, and sea-wolves, are mentioned several
times during Lent.' It is obvious that the whale fishery during these times

of the fifteenth century, as follows : — " Purmenty wyth Purpaysse. — Make thin ffurmenty in the

must have been far more extensive than is supposed, to have furnished the
European markets with the requisite quantity of fish. It is beheved that
England was supplied from Normandy; the whale fishery was early, and
long, a soiu'ce of wealth to the towns on the coast of that province.^
In so large a fish some parts, were, of course, more prized than others ;
the tongue and a portion of the tail were esteemed dehcacies ; and, if from
the French fashion of cooking it, we may guess at the English mode, the
flesh was either boiled with peas or roasted.^
It seems from the following anecdote that, during Lent, certain fish were
eaten on particular days, and that the sea-wolf, the modem name of which
is not very clear,' was not so large but that it might be served up whole.
It chanced that Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, paid a visit to Robert
Grost^te, Bishop of Lincoln, who received him with great honour, and com-
manded his seneschal to prepare a dinner of more than usual costhness.
At table the Earl was seated at the right hand of his host, who ordered the
attendants to serve him to every thing first. It was one of those fish days
when it was customary to eat choice sea wolves, and the servants thinking to
please their master placed a large fish before the Bishop and a small one
before the Earl: Grost^te, however, looked angrily at the seneschal, and
said, " take that fish away from me, or give one of equal size to the Earl ;"
upon this the servants asserted they could not find another so large ; " then,"
said the Bishop, " set aside the whole of this for alms, and give me a smaller
one like the rest." This proceeding greatly surprised the Earl of Gloucester,
who, when the repast was over, could not reiirain from asking the Bishop,
how he, a man of humble birth, had acquired so much courtesy.*

The staple article of food during Lent in the household of the Countess,
was salted herring ; hundreds of which were consumed daily.' Besides this,
however, the list of fish eaten by them at different seasons of the year is
far from inconsiderable. We find the names of conger, ling, cod, both fresh
and salted, hake, sturgeon, mackerel, stockfish, mullets, bar, flolmders,
salmon, plaice, sea-breams, soles and dories; among sheU-fish may be
enumerated oysters, weUcs, crabs, and shrimps ; and of fresh-water varieties
the dart, eels, lampreys,^ and cray-fish.
Of these several sorts, besides the herring, cod, and hake, were either
dried or salted for storing ; such 'as the mullet, mackerel and sturgeon.*
Pickled salmon is not named in the roU, although in general demand at the
time, as well as what was called " powdered salmon ;'' the fish being merely
sprinkled with dry salt. In the document already quoted on the subject of
whale, the sheriffs are directed to send the King twelve powdered salmon,
and four salmon in bread.* It was a very common. practice to bake or boil
fish in paste, either for immediate use, or for the convenience of preser-
vation and transport to a distance ; but this method of cooking was more
frequently applied to fresh-water species, and in particular, to the bream and
pike or lucy.° The roU affords a sUght clue to the manner of performing
• In 1238 the Flemish fishermen were so much Eilarmed by the news of the invasion of Hungary
by the army of Okta'i, the son and successor of Genghiz Khan, that they would not venture over to
Yarmouth, as was their annual custom. Their absence caused such a glut in the English market,
that four or five hundred of the best herrings sold for a shilling. M. Paris, 398.
2 The best English lampreys were taken in the Severn. Those of Nantes, however, were con-
sidered superior. In 1231 a ship freighted with these fish, for the use of Henry the Third, was
wrecked near Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight ; whereupon the bailiffs of the Island were ordered to
impanel a jury, to enquire what persons had found the said lampreys " which Osbert Percehaye
brought with him from Nantes," and to cause them to be given up without delay. Kot. Claus., 15

the operation, as eggs were required to put two dories in paste;' but the
way in which they were applied must be left to the learned in cookery to

The Earl of Leicester seems to have been rather choice in reference to
fresh-water fish ; upon his arrival at Odiham, a man was dispatched to the
Bishop of Winchester's ponds at Farnham, where with several assistants he
continued to fish, for eleven days.^ Some also, perhaps eels, was brought
from Staines.*
As fennel is mentioned,' we may infer that it was already customary to
serve it with fish ; a fashion said to have been borrowed from the Florentines.
Kymer recommended that all fish should be dressed with fennel, mint, and
parsley.* He remarks also, that in his time some persons considered salmon
and trout unwholesome food, on account of the redness of their flesh, for
which, in his own opinion, they were all the better.'

baliing lampreys, furnished by the cookery book before quoted. — " Lamprays bake. Take and make

The roll presents nothing worthy of remark on the subject of animal-food.
We find the usual fare of beef, mutton, veal and pork : with the occasional
variety of kid's flesh, and venison. The prices of animals vary considerably ;
two oxen, four sheep and three calves were bought for 22s. lOd. ; m one
instance two calves cost \s. 6d., in another a sheep and a calf were worth
3s. 3c?.' Kids came either out of the stores of the different castles, or from the
Countess's manors. Although venison is mentioned more frequently to-
wards what we should call the proper season, it was eaten also in the spring.
On Sunday the 10th of May there is an item of 6d., expended upon the
dogs, in hunting a stag.^
Of the feathered tribe, capons, fowls and geese^ are named, but the general
term " pullagium," may have comprehended other species. There is no
distinct mention, however, of swans, herons, peacocks, bitterns and other
strong flavoured birds so much in favour at the time. We find a payment
to a boy, for seeking a crane in a well,* and it is possible that, if caught, the
unfortunate bird may have been devoured.
Eggs seem to have been an important item in the culinary processes of
the thirteenth century. The price of them varied from 3|«?^ to Ad^. per
hundred. In one instance they were paid as rent.^ On Easter Sunday
upwards of twelve hundred were purchased ;^ of which the greater part were,
probably, stained and given away as Pasque eggs.
It cannot fail to be remarked, in perusing the roU, that very few esculent
plants are mentioned. Dried peas and beans, parsley, fennel, onions, green

peas and new beans,' are the only species named. Pot-herbs of which the
names are not specified, but which served eleven days, cost 6d.^ If any
other vegetables were in general use at the time, they were, perhaps, com-
prised under the term " potagium."^ There is, however, much uncertainty
upon the subject of the cultivation of vegetables, in this country, during the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Cresses, endive, lettuce, beets, par-
snips, carrots, cabbages, leeks, radishes, and cardoons were grown in France
during the reign of Charlemagne ;'' but it is doubtful whether many of these
varieties had penetrated into England at an early period. The most skilful
horticulturists of the middle ages were ecclesiastics, and it is possible that
in the gardens of monasteries many vegetables were reared which were not
in common use among the laity .^ Even in the fifteenth century the general
produce of the English kitchen garden was contemptible when compared
with that of the Low Countries, France and Italy. Gilbert Kymer can enu-
merate only, besides a few wild and forgotten sorts, cabbage, lettuce, spinach,
beetroot, trefoil, bugloss, borage, celery, purslane, fennel, smallage, thyme
hyssop, parsley, mint, a species of turnip, and small whi te onions. Accord-
ing to him, all these plants were boiled with meat. He observes also that
some were eaten raw, in spring and summer, with olive oil and spices, but
questions the propriety of the custom.^ This is, perhaps, the earUest notice
extant of the use of salads, in England.
V Although the information furnished by the roll on the subject of vegetables
is very scanty, it is still more meagre in relation to fruit. The only kinds
named are apples and pears : three hundred of the latter were purchased at
Canterbury ;' probably from the gardens of the monks. It is believed, how-
ever, that few other sorts were generally grown in England before the latter
end of the fifteenth century : although Matthew Paris, describing the bad

season of 1257, observes that "apples were scarce, and pears scarcer, while
quinces, vegetables, cherries, plums and all shell-fruits were entirely de-
stroyed,'" These shell-fruits were probably the common hazel-nut, walnuts,
and perhaps chestnuts; in 1256 the Sheriffs of London were ordered to
buy two thousand chestnuts for the King's use.^ In the Wardrobe Book
of the 14th of Edward the First before quoted, we find the bill of Nicholas,
the royal fruiterer ; in which the only fruits mentioned are pears, apples,
quinces, medlars and nuts. The supply of these^ from Whitsuntide to No-
vember, cost 21/. 14s. 1^^.' 'i;his apparent scarcity of indigenous fruits
naturally leads to the enquiry, what foreign kinds besides those included
in the term spicery, such as almonds, dates figs and raisins, were imported
into England in this and the following century ? In the time of John and
of Henry the Third, RocheUe was celebrated for its pears and conger eels ;
the sheriffs of London purchased a hundred of the former, for Henry,
in 1223.* In the 18th of Edward the First, a large Spanish ship came to
Portsmouth ; out of the cargo of which the Queen bought one frail of
Seville figs, one frail of raisins or grapes, one bale of dates, two hun-
dred and thirty pomegranates, fifteen citrons and seven oeanges.' The
last item is important, as Le Grand d'Aussy could not trace the orange in
France to an earlier date than 1333 ;" here we find it known in England
in 1290 ; and it is probable that this was not its first appearance. The
marriage of Edward with Eleanor of Castile naturally led to a greater
intercourse with Spain, and, consequently, to the introduction of other
articles of Spanish produce than the leather of Cordova, olive-oil and rice,
which had previously been the principal imports from that fertile country,
through the medium of the merchants of Bayonne and Bordeaux. It is to
be regretted that the series of Wardrobe Books is incomplete, as much addi-
tional information on this point might have "been derived from them. At all
events it appears certain that Europe is indebted to the Arab conquerors of

Spain for the introduction of the orange, and not to the Portuguese who are
said to have brought it from China.
An English dessert in the thirteenth century, must, it is clear, have been
composed chiefly of dried and preserved fruits ; dates, figs, apples, pears,
nuts, and the still common dish of almonds and raisins.' A curious anecdote
related of Robert de Coquina, Bishop of Durham, who died in 1284, shews
that it was customary to blanch the almond for table. He kept* two female
apes, one older than the other. On a certain day, after dinner, feeling more
inclined to be diverted than to eat, he ordered a silver dish which stood
before him, filled with blanched almohds, to be placed on the floor beside the
younger animal, the elder being kept back from it. The favoured ape,
fearing she might be robbed by her companion, hastily crammed all the
fruit into her left jaw ; and was making off with the spoU, when the other,
being set loose, seized her by the right cheek, and in spite of all resistance,
forced open her mouth, and deliberately eat every almond, to the great
amusement of the Bishop and his company.^
Owing to the partiality of the ancient English for strong and savoury
flavours, already adverted to, a great variety of spices were used in the compo-
sition of sauces and other branches of cookery ; they, likewise, entered largely
into the manufacture of those costly drinks and cordials so much in fashion
during the middle ages. The natural flavour and strength of wine did not
suSice ; it was sometimes sweetened with honey,"* often burnt, and more

frequently thickened by boiling, with the addition of the most stimulating
aromatics.
All dried fruits as well as spices, properly so called, were anciently com-
prised under the general term spicery. The dealers in these rare commodities
were styled Spiders, and as their trade was carried on with those countries
of the East, which, in addition to the production of spices, were more skilled
in manufactures than the nations of Europe, they imported not only the
aromatics, but, also, the rich silks, fine linens, baudekins and gold-stuffs of
Asia. It was this branch of commerce which enriched the Basings, Hardels,
Rokesleys and Gisorses, those haughty merchants and barons of London, in
the thirteenth century, who, said Henry the Third, in a fit of spleen, would .

The spices named in the roU are aniseed, cinnamon, cloves, galingal, ginger,
and pepper J besides these cubebs, mace, and grain of paradise, or grain de
Paris, although not specified, were in general use at the time. Among spices
were included rice, saffron, and sugar.
The history and antiquity of the spice trade has been so often and so ably
related, that, in this place, it will be sufficient to observe that Alexandria
, was the mart from which Europe was supplied in early times, through the
agency of the merchants of France and Italy .^ It may be doubted, however,
whether, as has been frequently asserted, aU the rice and sugar used in
Europe during the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries came from
that place. That some kinds of sugar did, is certain; but the sugar of
Alexandria seems to have been a great rarity in England during the reign of
Henry the Third. In 1226 the King sent a writ to the mayor and burgesses
of Winchester, directing them to forward to him at Marlborough, three

= It was not until after the Crusades that spices became generally diffused in Europe. Much
valuable information upon this subject will be found in the learned essay, by M. de Guignes, " Sur
I'fetat du Commerce du Levant, avant les Croisades," &c. Mdmoires de I'Acad^mie Royaledes Inscrip-
tions et Belles-Lettres, tome 37, p. 467. m.
pounds of choice sugar of Alexandria, if so much could be found in the city
of Winchester, and, if it could not be had, they were to send as many pounds
of sugar of Buza. They were to send also one pound of rosy sugar, and one
pound of violet-coloured sugar, three ounces of violets, and one ounce of
mastic' Now at the period in question Winchester was almost as great an
emporium for merchandise of every description as London ; a circumstance
partly the result of the frequent presence of the court in that venerable town,
but, chiefly, of the great fair of St, Giles's Hill, to which traders from all
parts were accustomed to repair; and from which also the merchants of
London drew a portion of their supplies. The place called Buza cannot be
readily identified ; it was, probably, some Eastern city celebrated for the
manufacture of sugar ; but it is believed that the coloured sugars referred to
by the King were made in Europe. The cane had been cultivated, from a
very remote date, in Sicily, and is said indeed to be indigenous in that island ;
we have every reason to believe that the sugar commonly used in England
in early times was made by the Italians.*
The invention of the art of refining sugar has been ascribed to the Arabs.
It is not known when the process was first employed in Europe. Le Grand
d'Aussy could not cite an earlier mention of white sugar, than that which he
found in the Household Account of Humbert, Dauphin de Viennois, for the
year 1333;' the Leicester Roll proves that it was used in England in 1265.
On page 71 will be found an item for fourteen pounds of sugar, which cost
28s. ; the scribe had originally written that this sugar was purchased to make
"white powder," — " ad album pulverem •" these words, however, he struck
out, and it will be seen that the item immediately following is, "for iiij.
pounds of white powder, 8s." If sugar were never purchased to make
white powder, he would not have committed this error in writing his
account, and when to this presumptive evidence we add the fact that white
powder bore the same price as sugar, viz. 2s. the pound, no other conclusion

can be drawn than that it was white sugar pounded. To' this we may add
that in 1256 Henry the Third ordered the Sheriffs of London to send
" four loaves of sugar" to Woodstock, where in company with the King and
Queen of Scotland he celebrated the feast of the Assumption.*
No doubt a considerable quantity of rice was imported from the east,
during the middle ages ; but it may be observed that the Arabs had intro-
duced the cultivation of it into Spain, where it is still grown in the proAance
of Valencia ; and that, from Spain, the plant was at an early period, trans-
ported to Italy.*

While on the subject of condiments, it may be noticed that considerable
quantities of mustard, verjuice and vinegar were used. The verjuice was
made, both from the unripened grape and from sorrel.

^ It must not be supposed from the low prices of some of these articles that they were generally
used in the country; the arrival of a ship laden with spices was an event of such importance, and
perhaps rarity, that the King usually hastened to satisfy his wants before the cargo was landed.
Thus in the 10th of Henry the Third, the bailiffs of Sandwich were commanded to detain, upon their
coming to port, two great ships laden with spices and precious merchandises, which were expected
from Bayonne; and not to allow any thing to be sold until the King had had his choice of their
contents. Claus. 10 Hen. 3, m. 3.

We find occasional items for the purchase of table Hnen, plates, dishes,
and drinking cups : and there are two payments for making cases for the
Countess's knives, probably those used at meals.
The roU affords little information respecting dress, and that little is not
remarkable for novelty. Woollen cloths were long the chief material of male
and female attire. When new the nap was generally very long ; and after
being worn for some time it was customary to have it shorn ; indeed this
process was repeated as long as the stuff would bear it. Thus we find the
Countess sending Hicqe, the tailor, to London, to get her robes re-shom.
Among the materials for dress mentioned, are linen, sindon, which has
been variously interpreted to mean satin or very fine linen ; scarlet and rayed
or striped cloths, of Flemish,' French or Italian make ; pers, or blue cloth,
for the manufacture of which Provence was famous ; " russet, say or serge,
and blanchet or blanket, a name which, it is beheved, was then given to
flannel. The furs named are squirrel and miniver. For some trifling par-
ticulars respecting hose, boots, and shoes the reader is referred to the docu-
ment itself.
Two passages in the roll, possessing literary interest, must not be over-
looked. They relate to the cost of a pocket breviary made for the use of
Eleanor de Montfort. Twenty dozen of fine veUum were purchased for it,
at the price of lOs. and the writing, which was executed at Oxford, cost
14*.'
We may note, as a striking peculiarity in this document, that the house-
hold servants are generally distinguished by Saxon names ! we have Hande
and Jacke of the bake-house; Hicqe the tailor, Jacke the keeper of the
Countess's harriers, Dobbe the shepherd ; Diqon, Gobithesty, and Treubodi,
who were often employed in carrying letters ; as well as Slingaway, a courier,
' Ghent was celebrated for its scarlets. ' Le Grand d'Aussy, iii., p. 404.

whose name is most apposite, and was derived, possibly, from his gait and
manner.
In concluding these remarks it is indispensable to observe, that, during
the year 1265, prices were, probably, higher than usual, owing to the
troubled state of the kingdom, and to the ravages committed both by the
royal party and by the adherents of Leicester. Vast quantities of grain and
provisions of all kinds were bought up, or seized, to store castles and victual
troops ; by which the general supply of fairs and markets was materially
diminished ;' while the insecurity of travelling limited the traffick of mer-
chants and, consequently, enhanced the value of every species of commodity.
The continuator of Matthew Paris thus terminates his account of the year in
question. " The past year was fruitful, temperate, and healthy ; but grievous
in all the affairs of England, by reason of the general war, of the King's cap-
tivity, and of the lamentable ^poil of public and private property." * These
facts should be carefully weighed before any general conclusions are drawn
from the prices set down in the roll.
With respect to the value of money in the thirteenth century it is sufficient
to say that one shilling then would purchase as much as fifteen now.'
The original roll seems to have been taken by the Countess of Leicester
to France ; and after remaining fpr more than five centuries in that country,
perhaps in the archives of the monastery at Montargis, where she fixed her
residence, it at length found its way back to England, and was purchased in
1831 by the Trustees of the British Museum ; it is No. 8877 of the Addi-
tional MSS. The document is thus described by a former French possessor.
1 In May, 1265, Leicester sent writs, in the King's name, to the Sheriffs of Hereford, Salop, and
Stafford ordering them to prohibit the holding of fairs and markets in their respective counties, and
to proclaim that all pro-visions for sale should follow the royal person. — Rot. Claus. 49 Hen. 3 m. 4.

It is needless to enter into any lengthened statement to prove that the
date thus assigned to the roll is an anachronism. The facts that the Earl
of Leicester, his son Henry de Montfort and others who were slain at
Evesham are mentioned in it as alive, and that the Countess withdrew from
England soon after that battle shew that it cannot be given to a later year
than 1265. To these however we may add further and more conclusive
proofs. The wages of servants are calculated by the regnal year of Henry
the Third, that year being his forty-ninth, and the dates of the moveable
feasts in 1265 coincide with those given in the roU.
As we find that servants' wages were computed by the regnal year it is
reasonable to suppose that the roll, which in its present state is obviously
imperfect, commenced in October 1264; the 19th of that month being the
anniversary of Henry's accession. That some matter preceded that which is
at present the commencement of the document, is clear from the absence
of a title, and the language of the accountant who refers to persons " afore-
said" as forming part of the family on the 19th of February: the last mem-
brane yet bears marks of another having been originally sewn to it : the ac-
count was probably continued up to the time of the Countess's departure
for France.

This Household Roll is believed to be the earliest known memorial of the
domestic expenditure of an English subject ; there are a few royal accounts
of earlier date. It is in a remarkable state of preservation considering its age
and the accidents to which aU manuscripts are exposed until placed in secure
custody. It was written by more than one person, but the character of aU is
that which may be called the chancery or clericalhand of the time of Henry
the Third. As no useful end would have been attained by preserving its
contractions and peculiar orthography, the former have been extended
and the latter modernised ; occasional foot notes being added to indicate
the alterations introduced into the text.
II. Rolls containing the payments made by the
Executors of Eleanor, Consort of Edward the
First.
Few materials are extant for the lives of the early Queen-consorts of
England. It was only when some of them emerged from the privacy of domes-
tic life into the field of politics and intrigue, or when scandal grew busy with
their fame, that contemporary annalists going beyond a mere eulogy of
their personal charms have left us a degree of information respecting them
which rather serves to excite than to satisfy curiosity. No equivocal re-
putation is associated with the name of Eleanor of Castile. She never
swerved from the position which fortune assigned her, nor failed to perform
the gentle and peaceful duties which belonged to it. The memory of her
unobtrusive virtues and worth passed away with those who had witnessed, or
were the objects of, her care and solicitude, and thus it is, that in attempting
the present notice, with all the aid derivable from the records of her time, our
narrative wiU present little more than a sketch of the circumstances attending
her marriage and her death.-
After the recall of the Earl of Leicester from Guienn? in 1252' those
intestine troubles were renewed which the energy and severity of his admi-
nistration had temporarily suppressed. The exhausted treasury of Henry
the Third and the unwillingness of the EngUsh to grant supplies pre-
vented him, for some time, from taking effectual steps to coerce the insur-
gents. At the moment when his authority in the province was at its lowest
' See p. xxi, ante.
i
Iviii
ebb, Alphonso the Tenth, King of Castile and Leon, whose scientific acquire-
ments obtained him the surname of El Sabio, or the Wise, laid claim to it,
alleging that the province belonged to him in right of his great-grandmother,
Eleanor, daughter of Henry the Second and Eleanor of Aquitaine, who had
received it in dower upon her marriage with Alphonso III., King of Castile,
in 1170.'
Alphonso was supported and encouraged in these doubtfiil and obsolete
pretensions by a party in the province headed by the turbulent Gaston de
Mon9ade, Vicomte de Beam.^ The rapid spread and success of this faction
roused Henry to a sense of his danger, and having at last succeeded in
wringing a subsidy from the English upon condition of strictly enforcing the
provisions of the Great Charter,^ he determined to employ it in reducing
Guienne to obedience. Upon his arrival there in 1253 he undertook several
expeditions against the rebels which terminated with success, for the Gascons
were at once taken by surprise at his unwonted energy and terrified by the
savage mode of warfare which he adopted. Their vineyards were rooted up,
their crops destroyed and amid this general desolation they exclaimed, that
the King was a greater enemy to them than the Earl of Leicester had ever
been.''
To secure the advantages he had gained Henry, always partial to negotia-
tion, resolved if possible to conciliate the King of Castile, who notwithstanding
the TVgent soUcitations of the insurgents had hitherto delayed advancing to
their assistance. With this view he sent ambassadors to the Spanish court,
to demand Eleanor the half-sister of Alphonso in marriage for Prince Ed-
ward,' upon whom he had already settled the sovereignty of Guienne.
Alphonso complied with his request upon condition that the Prince should
be sent into Spain to complete the marriage. To this, Henry, after some
hesitation,^ assented and in 1254 Edward proceeded to Burgos where he was
graciously received by Alphonso, who knighted him and celebrated the

lix
marriage with great pomp.' The Prince and his bride returned to Bordeaux
bringing with them a charter bearing a golden seal,^ by which the Spanish
sovereign rehnquished, in favour of them and their heirs, all claims upon the
province of Guienne.
The English had suffered so much from Henry's costly patronage of
foreigners that it is not surprising they should have regarded this aUiance with
aversion. They asked what assistance the King of Spain, surrounded by
domestic foes and separated by distant lands and varjring climates, could
afford their sovereign against his natural enemies the French. They said the
King knew " the habits and religion of the Spaniards, who were the very
refuse of mankind, hideous in their persons, contemptible in their dress, and
detestable in their manners." ^ They computed moreover that Henry had
spent in this expedition into Guienne, whereby he had gained no more than
he before possessed, at least twenty-seven thousand pounds,* besides having
lavished lands and pensions upon people unworthy of his favour. It was re-
marked that after the conclusion of the marriage the fame of the King of
Spain spread far and wide, while the King of England who had parted with
the finest provinces of his realm to establish his son, daily lost credit.^
Henry left Guienne in the autumn of 1254 and on his return to England
passed through Paris, with a retinue so numerous and splendid as to have
astonished the French. It was on this occasion that he gave that costly en-
tertainment to St. Louis, which was called;^the "Feast of Kings." ^ Prince
Edward and his wife remained in Guienne until the following year.
It was not long before the consequences of the Spanish alliance, foreseen

^ It is still preserved in the Chapter House, Westminster : there is a fac-simile of it in Rymer ;
we may observe that this charter did not confer the honour of knighthood upon Edward, as has
been often stated ; it merely recites that Alphonso had knighted him.

by the English, began to appear. While Henry was preparing for the war-
hke journey which he undertook into Scotland, in 1255, to avenge the insults
offered, by Robert de Ros and John Baliol, to his sister and her husband,'
he was apprised that ambassadors from the King of Spain were on their way
to England. They were the Infante Don Sancho, Archbishop-elect of
Toledo, Eleanor's brother, and Sir Garcias Martinez, a Spanish nobleman of
some celebrity.2 The reason for their coming was not publicly known, but
it was whispered among the people, that they expected to increase their
wealth by the rich presents they were sure to receive from the King, " who
was wont to distribute, indiscriminately, among such persons all that he
extorted from his own subjects." ^ It is just possible that the real object of
their visit was to prepare for the reception of Eleanor.
Henry, who was at Nottingham when he received the first notice of their
expected arrival, immediately dispatched a precept to Reginald of Cobham,
Sheriff of Kent and Constable of Dover Castle, commanding him^to receive them
" honourably and courteously," in person, on their landing ; to supply them
with all necessaries while they remained within his jurisdiction and to conduct
them to the New Temple, London, which was appointed for their residence.''
The Sheriffs of London were ordered to pay fifty marks to Edward of
Westminster, the King's architect, the Constable of the Tower and John of
Southwark, to be by them expended in " shewing honours'' ^ to them on their
arrival in the metropolis. John Gizors, Chamberlain of London, was
directed to deliver four tuns of wine to be deposited for their use in the
cellars of the Temple,^ and Richard de Montfitchet, keeper of the King's
forest in Essex, had commands to slay ten fat deer and take them to the same
place, that a well stored larder might await their coming.'
It is possible, however, that the King thought his preparations were rather
too liberal, for on the 15th. of September, being then at Wark Castle, in

Northumberland, he sent a secpnd precept to Reginald of Cobham, saying
that although he had previously ordered him to pay all the expenses of the
said ambassadors until their arrival in London, it was not necessary that he
should do so : it would be sufficient to receive them with honour, to dis-
charge the port-dues for their passage, to present them daily with gifts from
the King, but to let them travel to London at their own cost.' This last
injunction does not seem to have been strictly obeyed, as Reginald of Cob-
ham was allowed, upon rendering his accoimts at the Exchequer, £79 4*. 4d.
which he had expended in defraying their expenses from Dover to London.
They reached the capital about the end of December. The Mayor and
Sheriffs had strict commands to receive them with that honour and respect
which the King was most anxious should be shewn them." In their suite
came two jongleurs^ belonging to the household of the King of Castile,
and a serjeant named Gonsalvo who h^d in charge a present of Spanish
horses and a sbield, for Henry.'* The Londoners, however, were scandalised
to see the Archbishop-elect, a boy of twenty, riding in great state, wearing a
ring on his thumb, and bestowing his benediction on the people : they re-
marked that their manners were utterly at variance with Enghsh customs
and habits ; that while the walls of their lodgings in the Temple were hung
with silk and tapestry, and the very floors covered with costly carpets,' their
retinue was vulgar and disorderly, and that they had few horses, but many
mules. Notwithstanding the King's injunctions, the popular feelings on
these subjects were vented in abusive language and sarcastic allusions to the
gluttony and luxuriousness of this fresh supply of aliens.^
The arrival of Eleanor followed shortly after that of her brother. The
records of the time enable us to trace the preparations for her reception.
On the 27th of July, the King, then at Nottingham, sent an order to the

keeper of the Mint at London, to deliver twenty marks to William of Glou-
cester, the royal goldsmith, for the purpose of making a silver alms-dish for
Eleanor's use.' On the 22nd of August, Edward of Westminster purchased,
by the King's directions, -twelve silken cloths, viz. six of Arras and six of
gold, which were to be sent without delay to Dover, that they might
be ready against her arrival ; as oblations to be presented by her in the
great monasteries between Dover and Westminster. He brought also two
golden fermails, or brooches, each worth ten marks, to be oifered at the
shrines of St. Thomas at Canterbury and St. Edward at Westminster.^ On
the 22nd of September, Reginald of Cobham was ordered to receive her in
person, on landing, to lodge her honourably in the castle, and to conduct her
from thence to London.^
Although expected about the Feast of St Michael,* Eleanor did not reach
Dover until the beginning of October. She landed with a great retinue, but
a very scanty wardrobe ;* this we may suppose she intimated to her father-in-
law, who directly ordered his Treasurer to transmit her a hundred marks to
provide what she most needed, and to send her at the same time a handsome
palfrey.^ On her road to London she stopped two days at Canterbury, by
Henry's desire, to celebrate the feast of St. Edward : ? the bailiifs of the town
were commanded to supply all necessaries for the solemnity and the amount
of their expenditure was £29 lis. l^d. ^
Eleanor arrived in London on Sunday, the Feast of St. Etheldreda, I7th
of October, 1255.^ The King and court, the mayor, citizens and clergy of
London went forth in solemn array to meet her, and conducted her through
the city, which was hung with many coloured cloths fbene cortinata) and
variously decorated, to Westminster where, she found her apartments,
through the care of the ambassadors who had preceded her, adorned with
costly hangings, like a church, and carpeted, after the Spanish fashion.'"

Upon witaiessing these expensive preparations for her reception the national
prejudices, already alarmed at the number of Spaniards who accompanied
her, again broke forth. Although the Londoners in obedience to the King's
orders* had received the Princess with songs, music, and other "joyfiil
devices," they began to mock and sneer at such outrageous pomp and
expense, which experience told them would soon affect their own pockets.
At this djstance of time their fears and lamentations would appear ludicrously
absurd did we not know how much they had suffered from the foreign con-
nections of the throne. Some, says Matthew Paris, dreaded that the country
would be "violently seized" by an inroad of Spaniards,^ while "grave
persons and discreet men, pondering over future chances, sighed from the
depths of their hearts, carefully considering the gratifications which the King
lavished upon all aliens. For the honours shewn to the Spaniards caused the
wonder and astonishment of all, nor was it surprising. The English, therefore,
were inconsolably sad because among all nations they were held in least es-
teem by their own sovereign, and were threatened with irreparable ruin." ^
Edward returned from Guienne on the 29th of November, and was received
in London with the same respect which had been shewn to his wife.*
Soon after Eleanor's arrival her brother the Archbishop of Toledo t ook
his departure.' Henry presented him, on leaving, with four hundred marks
and commanded the sheriff of Kent to give him and his retinue a speedy
passage from Dover.^ The two jongleurs who accompanied him received a
gift of twenty-shillings each, and Gonsalvo, the serjeant, forty .' Sir Garcias
Martinez, however, seems to have been so well pleased at his reception in
England, that he stayed some time longer. In the first instance Henry
granted him an annuity of 100 marks ;^ and when, early in December,
he talked of returning to Spain, gave him a hundred pounds towards his
' Claus. 39 Hen. 3, m, 6, in dorso. " M. Paris, 783. ' Ibid.

expenses.' There was probably some difficulty in finding this money, for Sir
Garcias still lingered; at length on the 8th of December the King sent a
peremptory mandate to the Treasurer to deUver to Martinez all the money
and jewels promised him ; and if there should not be sufficient in the
treasury to enable him to do so, he was directed to pawn such of the royal
jewels as might be in his keeping, either to " Jews or Christians," to make
up the necessary sum; and to shew such diligence in the business that
Sir Garcias and his followers might be no longer delayed for want of their
presents, nor the King put to further cost for their maintenance.^ This im-
pignorating process was not very speedily completed, as Martinez did not
leave England until June, 1256.'
It soon became manifest that the English were not deceived in supposing
that the Spanish alhance would call into being a fresh crowd of applicants
for the favours of their profuse sovereign. Even before Eleanor reached Eng-
land the knights of the Spanish order of St. Jago petitioned Henry for a
grant of lands in England and their request was seconded by Alphonso. The
king replied with many compliments that when he saw " a suitable occasion
and place he would readily take care to do that which should add to the
honour and profit of their order ."^ In 1256 Matthew Paris observes that
" the King's Poitevin brothers, the Provenjals, and now the Spaniards and
Romans are enriched with daily augmenting wealth, and elevated to honours,
while the English are discarded.'^ In the same year the' number of foreign
annuitants was increased by the coming of Eleanor's brother, the Infante
Don Henry who had fled from Spain after an unsuccessful revolt against
Alphonso.* « The King," says the same author, " according to his custom
towards all foreigners, opened the bosom of consolation, and ordered all
necessaries to be abundantly suppUed to him : and entrusted him and his

followers to the charge of William Bonquer, knight, who knew the Spaniards
and their manners and customs, having been several times ambassador from
the King of England to the King of Spara." ' Contemporary records prove
the truth of this statement ; in August 1256 the Sheriff of Oxford was
ordered to pay Bonquer thirty marks for Don Henry's expenses,^ and in
October the King gave him a hundred marks.' Yet at this very juncture
Henry was resorting to all expedients to replenish his treasury exhausted by
the enormous expense of his expedition to Guienne, and by the futile efforts
he was now making to place his second son Edmund on the throne of Sicily.
His debts, as he said himself, amounted to two or three hundred thousand
marks " it was horrible to think of them.""* In this state of things his
attempts at retrenchment in some matters were as ridiculous as his lavish
expenditure in others. Guy de Lusignan, Henry's uterine brother, offered as
his mite towards paying off the royal creditors, to be content with one gown,
instead of, perhaps two or three, for the feast of Christmas 1256: the King
caught eagerly at this generous proposal and directed his tailor Roger to

The poverty of the father was shared by the son. For although Henry
had settled Guienne, Ireland, Wales and Chester upon Edward, and calcu-
lated his annual revenue therefrom at fifteen thousand marks,^ it is more
than probable the Prince did not derive so much from these grants. Guienne
was still unquiet and certainly impoverished ; Ireland the mere shadow of
a possession,; and the Welsh who had been goaded into revolt had over-
run the principality of Chester which, though the smallest, was, perhaps,
the most profitable of his territories.' The dower of Eleanor was only a
thousand pounds a year arising from the castles and towns of Grantham,

Stamford, the Peak and Tickhill.' Edward's pecuniary means were in-
sufficient for the payment of bis retainers, who consequently indemnified
themselves by plundering in every direction, and their excesses became so
grievous thsft the tyranny of Henry seemed to grow petty compared with
the outrageous proceedings of the followers of his son.^ Matthew Paris
describes the family of Edward to have been composed of a rabble rout of
ruffians and robbers, who plundered the pack-horses and carts of merchants
and seized by force the provisions of their fellow countrymen. The conduct
of the Prince himself encouraged their insubordination. The same author
relates, as one of many instances of his cruelty, that in travelling in a quiet
district in time of peace he ordered his servants to stop a youth whom he
met on the road, and to cut off his ears and put out one of his eyes ; and
this from mere ferocity.' Such was the youthful character of the monarch
whose wise proceedings in after years have obtained him the honourable name
of the English Justinian; and such the family into which Eleanor at the
age of fifteen passed from the court of her brother.
, From the year 1256 to the time when she accompanied her husband to
the Holy Land, Eleanor's name is scarcely mentioned by contemporary
writers, except to record the births of her children. In 1258 Edward's
poverty obliged him to mortgage his best possessions to William de Valence
his father's uterine brother.'' During the contest between Henry the Third
and his barons Eleanor resided chiefly at Windsor Castle, which she was
compelled to quit for Westminster after the battle of Lewes in 1264.' In
the following year Montfort obliged Edward to yield him the principality of
Chester and the Castle and Honoxir of Peak under colour of an exchange.'
By the King's order apartments were constructed in Guildford Castle, for
Eleanor's accommodation, in 1268 ;'' and in 1271 she sailed with her husband
for Syria.^

related with the addition of his cure having been eflFected by the heroism of
Eleanor, who sucked the venom from his wound. This story is not found
in any of our historians before the time of Camden, who first published it in
his " Britannia," upon the authority of an author whom he cites under the
name of Rodericus Toletanus.' The Chronicle of Roderic, Archbishop of
Toledo, a work by no means difiicult of access, was terminated by its author,
as he himself states, in 1243, twenty-eight years before the occurrence he is
supposed to have recorded. As it is impossible that a writer of Camden's
respectability should have invented the fiction, we can only account for its
appearance in his work by supposing he might have seen it in some other
Spanish chronicle, or in a continuation of Roderic's annals which has,
hitherto, escaped notice. But although the venerable author of the " Bri-
tannia" may be readily acquitted of any disposition to impose upon the
world, it is not the less certain there are no sufficient reasons for crediting
the tale. The silence of every contemporary writer respecting an event
which, had it really taken place, could not have failed to reach the ears and
excite the admiration of aU, is fatal to its credibility, while the particulars
furnished by Hemingford and Wikes^ respecting the method of Edward's

^ Hemingford, after narrating the attempt of the murderer, proceeds thus ; " Accurrensque statim

cure, are too minute, and possess a character of authenticity too peculiar, to
excite the slightest doubt of their correctness.
The death of Henry the Third in 1272, while Edward was yet in the
Holy Land, raised Eleanor to the dignity of Queen Consort of England.
On her return from the East in 1273 she visited her brother Alphonso,' and
in the following year was crowned with her husband at Westminster with a
degree of splendour unexampled in the annals of England.
In 1279, Eleanor inherited the county of Ponthieu in right of her mother,
Joan, widow of Ferdinand the Third, King of Castile and Leon, who died
at Abbeville in that year. On this occasion the King and Queen repaired
to France, and at an interview with Philip Le Hardi, at Amiens, Edward did
homage to him for this new acquisition, as well as for the districts of Le
Limousin, Perigord, Saintonge and Agenois, which were ceded to him by
treaty.
From this period we hear nothing of Eleanor, beyond a few unimportant
notices of her health, which occur in the letters which passed between
Edward and Alphonso and are printed in the Fcedera, until 1286 when she
accompanied her husband to Guienne. During their residence in that pro-
vince the King and Queen narrowly escaped death by lightening. They
were sitting conversing, on the bedside, when the electric fluid, entering a
window in their rear, passed between them and killed two damsels standing
in the presence.^ From a roll preserved in the Exchequer we glean a few
curious particulars of her during the same year. Edward's New Year's gift
to Eleanor in 1286 was a cup of gold, weighing three marks and a half, and
worth twenty-three pounds, six shillings and eightpence. On the feast of the

Circumcision (1st. Jan.) he presented her a pitcher of gold, enamelled and set
with precious stones, which was purchased of WiUiam Farringdon, goldsmith
of London. During the same year Eleanor offered fermails or brooches of
considerable value at the shrine of St. Ethelwold at Ceme, 6th of December ;
St. Richard at Chichester, 31st of March; St. Denis, 29th of May; St.
Edmund at Pontigny, 14th of August; and St. Martin of Tours, 27th of
August; she visited also the shrines of St. Wuliran at Abbeville, the chief
city of her county of Ponthieu, and of St. Eutrope at Xaintes.'
Among the presents given to Edward by the King of France, in the same
year, were a coronet of gold set with sapphires, emeralds, rubies and pearls,
which he sent into England for his daughter Eleanor; and two cloths of
gold which he gave, immediately, to the Queen. The Bishop of Exeter
presented a silver gilt cup with a foot and cover, which became the property
of the Lady de la Plaunche, Eleanor's cousin, and the Visitor of the Temple
in France gave a chess-board^ and men of jasper and crystal, probably of
eastern workmanship ; this Edward rehnquished to the Queen.'
In May 1290 was celebrated the marriage of Eleanor's daughter Joan,
surnamed of Acre, to the Earl of Gloucester, and in the following July that
of Margaret, her fifth daughter, to John, son of the Duke of Brabant. Both
ceremonies were conducted with much splendour, and a multitude of min-
strels flocked from all parts to Westminster : to the first came King Grey
of England, King Caupenny* from Scotland, and Poveret, the minstrel
of the Mareschal of Champagne. The nuptials of Margaret, however, seem

to have eclipsed those of her sister. Walter de Storton, the King's harper
distributed a hundred pounds, the gift of the bridegroom, among four hun-
dred and twenty-six minstrels, " as weU English as others;" and this nu-
merous band of itinerant professors of mirth and song were aided, in their
endeavours to amuse, by the Fool of the Comte of Artois andBastin Noblet,
the dancer of Liege.'
The same accounts which supply these curious facts, present us also with
some valuable illustrations of the simple manners of the court and of the
personal character of Edward. We find that seven of Eleanor's ladies in
waiting and maids of honour, setting at nought the Kingly majesty, proceeded
to his chamber on Easter Monday, 1290, laid violent hands on him, and
carried into effect the popular and practical joke of " hfting" or "heaving"
the monarch until he consented to pay them a fine of fourteen pounds to
to enjoy " the King's peace;" and be set at liberty .^ On the marriage day
of his daughter Margaret the King lost his temper and struck an esquire
on the head with a rod, but without just cause. He afterwards gave him
thirteen pounds six shillings and eight pence as some reparation for the
injury he had done him. We may reasonably infer it could have been no
shght knock that needed so costly a plaster.' Edward, unlike his father,
was passionately addicted to the chace. Tradition long preserved the me-
mory of his great hunt in Inglewood forest, when he is said to have slain
two hundred deer.* We find him chasing the stag in his mother's park at
Bridgestock and killing her forester's horse with hard riding.^ On another
occasion when starting for the hunt at Fingringhoe in Essex, his washerwoman,
Matilda of Waltham, chanced to be present. The scene is readily imagined ;
the dogs are being coupled ; horses are saddUng, courtiers mounting ; and
the King in a happy mood, with pleasant anticipation of the sport to come,
is impatient to be oiF; while the females of the manor are assembled around
to see the royal train depart. Among them the merry monarch espies the

laundress Matilda, and straitway wagers a fleet hunter that she will not ride it
to the chase and be in at the death. " Done," cries the bold Matilda and off
they start ; she rides like a feariess forester, wins the bet and Edward ransoms
his steed for forty shillings.'
Queen Eleanor died in the house of Richard de Weston, at Harby or
Hardby in Nottinghamshire,* on the 28th of November, 1290.' She was
accompanying her husband in his journey to Scotland, whither he was pro-
ceeding to settle the dispute respecting the succession to the Scottish throne,
which the rival candidates, imfortunately for themselves, had referred to his
arbitration. On the 28th of October, we find a payment of one mark to
Henry of Montpellier " for syrup and other medicines" purchased at Lin-
coln for the Queen's use.'' During her illness she was attended by her
household physician, master Leopard, or Leopardi, probably an Italian,
to whom she bequeathed the sum of twenty marks, and also by a leech in
the service of the King of Arragon to whom she gave a cup worth twelve
marks and a half.* Her bowels were interred in Lincoln Cathedral on the
2nd of December,^ and Edward postponing his intended journey returned
with her remains, by slow stages, to London. The account left us by the
annaUst of Dunstable of the circumstances attending the arrival of the
fimeral train at his monastery represents, generally, what occurred at every
place where the procession halted. After noticing the death of the Queen,
he says " her body passed through our town, and rested one night. And
two precious cloths, to wit, baudekyns, were given unto us. Of wax we had
eighty pounds and more.^ * * * And when the body of the said Queen was
departing from Dunstable, the bier rested in the centre of the market place
until the King's chancellor and the great men then and there present had
marked a fitting place where they might afterwards erect, at the royal ex-
pense, a cross of wonderful size. Our prior being then present and sprinkling

holy water."' Eleanor was buried at the feet of Henry the Third in West-
minster Abbey on the 10th of December, and on the 12th of the same month
her heart was deposited in the church of the Black Friars of London/ where
a chapel seems to have been afterwards constructed for its reception.'
There is every reason to believe that Edward was sincerely attached to his
deceased consort. During an union of thirty-six years they had never been
separated, excepting for" a few months while the Prince was a prisoner in the
hands of the Earl of Leicester. The King's letter to the Abbot of Clugny
desiring prayers for the soul of her " whom living he loved dearly, and whom
dead he shall never cease to love,"* has been often cited, as a proof of his
tenderness and sorrow, by writers who were probably not aware that it
is little more than one of those formal circulars, couched in phraseology
appropriated to such documents, which it was customary to issue upon the
decease of a royal personage. We have far better evidence of Edward's
affection for Eleanor than the verbiage and common places of a record.
If we look to the writers contemporary with Eleanor for any particulars
of her character we shall be disappointed. They afford the brief, and, as far
as it goes, satisfactory information that she was chaste and pious ; but the
annalist of Dunstable, who is equally worthy of credit with the rest, alluding
neither to her devotion nor her virtue, notes that she was by birth a Spaniard
and that she acquired many rich manors ; ' an equivocal observation, which
speaks as much for Edward's generosity as for her own deserts. From
the pen of Walsingham, who wrote at the distance of a century and a
half from the period of her death, we have a panegyric of Eleanor, suspicious
from its rhetorical flourish, and still more suspicious if we consider the age
of its author.^
Of the thirteen children of Edward and Eleanor, four sons and nine daughters,
six only survived their mother, viz., Edward, who succeeded to her county

Elizabeth, Countess of Holland, afterwards the wife of Humphrey de Bohun,
Earl of Hereford and Essex.
The documents to which this notice is introductory are three rolls con-
taining the accounts of the executors of Eleanor's will, from which we may
collect the general character of that instrument, -w^hich has not yet been
discovered. It is important to observe, however, that all their expenditure
was not made in pursuance of the Queen's testamentary directions. The
payments may be divided into three classes, viz., 1. bequests ; 2. donations
by her executors, in the exercise of a discretionary power to carry into effect
all the Queen's presumed intentions, and to provide for the repose of her
soul ; and 3. payments directed by the King, generally in relation to his deceased
consort, but occasionally for other objects. The funds available for these
purposes were the debts due to the Queen at her death,' the revenues of
her manors, and occasional grants in aid from the exchequer.^ The items
contained in the first and second divisions are not without interest, and shew
in particular the munificent eleemosynary provision for the establishment of
a perpetual church service for the deceased Queen. As the accounts can be
readily perused we shall entirely pass over these and other less important
details,' and confine our remaining observations to the entries which con-
stitute the chief value of the rolls, viz., those which relate to the building of
the crosses erected in memory of Eleanor, and the casting of the effigies on
her tombs at Westminster, the Black Friars and Lincoln. From them we
now first learn the names of the architects of the crosses and the designer

nating a psalter, and for a pair of tablets, for the Queen (p. 103); also a payment of 100s. to David
of Aberconway for making a chamber in the Abbey there, according to directions given by Eleanor
herself (p. 107) : and another of 40s. for writing two schedules containing certain indulgences,
granted by divers prelates, for the soul of the Queen (p. 137). Adam, the royal goldsmith, is paid

of the eflSgies : they shew that much if not all the merit of the former is
due to Englishmen, and that the latter were, probably, the production of an
Italian. As most writers, however, who have touched upon the subject,
attribute all these works to foreigners, it may not be altogether out of place
to offer a few remarks upon the state of art in England during the thirteenth
century, with the view of placing our ancient professors of the pencil and
chisel on higher ground than they have hitherto occupied. It is a rea-
sonable cause of surprise that, with the ample materials extant, we have not
yet , had a comprehensive treatise on a subject which richly deserves more
extended illustration than we can pretend to give it.
Henry the Third may be truly said to have been the first Engjish monarch
who paid any great attention to architecture, sculpture and painting. It is
probable that at his accession to the throne all the royal residences were in
a dilapidated condition; it is certain that during a long reign he devoted
much care and large sums to rebuilding, enlarging and decorating them.
There is positive evidence that the works carried on at the regal castles and
houses of Clarendon, Guildford, Havering, Kennington, Marlborough, West-
minster, Windsor and Woodstock were chiefly the result of his individual
taste. All matters, from the size and style of a window to the dimensions
of a room, and the paintings on its walls, were executed according to his own
directions, often given orally to his officers, and, fortunately for posterity,
almost always reduced into writing, a circumstance consequent upon the
fiscal arrangements of the times, which may be briefly explained.
The only certain revenue enjoyed by our ancient sovereigns arose from
three sources ; the demesne lands of the crown — the profits accruing firom
the administration of justice — and the operation of the feudal system of
tenures, which has been often explained,' The collectors of the monies
arising from these various quarters, were the sheriffs of towns and counties,
and the farmers of the. King's lands. These persons accounted at the Ex-
chequer once in the year, at the feast of St. Michael. In consequence of
this arrangement the greater part of the royal expenditure was made
through them: to use a familiar comparison they acted as bankers and
bcxv
agents to the sovereign, whose necessities compelled him to anticipate the
revenues they had in charge. Thus did the King require provisions for the
celebration of those solemn festivals, when he held his cows plenieres, he
dispatched writs to the bailiffs of such towns as Kingston, St. Albans,
Wycombe or Hertford, commanding them to make him so much household
bread ; to the sheriffs of counties to send him supplies of the meat, poultry,
game or fish for which their respective districts were famous ; did he require
wearing apparel, his sheriffs and bailiffs bought him broad cloths and silks at
the great fairs of Boston, Winchester or St. Ives j and was a new oriel to be
made in the hall at Woodstock, a chimney or a chapel to be built at Claren-
don, or the parable of Dives and Lazarus to be painted on the wainscoting
of the privy chamber at Guildford,' it was the sheriff or bailiff who had to
see it executed, and to hire and pay the artists and workmen. At the ap-
pointed time these officers presented themselves at the Exchequer : the
Treasurer demanded an account of their receipts during the year, and they
claimed to be allowed what they had expended, producing for every payment
the royal precept by virtue of which it had been made. If they could shew
no authority for a disbursement, or if they had exceeded the directions it
gave, in the one case their claim was refused, in the other disallowed as
respected any excess : thus when the sheriffs of London having. received the
King's writ for the execution of a traitor, caused him to be drawn on a sledge
to Tyburn, and asked allowance for the hire of a horse and manufacture of
the sledge, their petition was refused, because Tyburn was not mentioned in
the writ. In this simple manner the accounts were adjusted. In general
the sheriffs or bailiffs had a balance to pay in ; sometimes they had expended
aU they received. The writs or precepts to the sheriffs and bailiffs were
enrolled by the clerks of the Chancellor, and from the series of such enrol-
ments,^ for the reign of Henry the Third, Vertue made the scattered extracts
relative to the state of art during that period upon which Walpole has

commented in the Anecdotes of Painting in England. Our subsequent ob-
servations are founded upon the same documents.
Before we proceed to enquire whether the architects and painters, who it
seems could be so readily found by sheriffs and bailiffs in all parts of the
country, were foreigners or natives, we may advert to the general fallacy that
the great architects dviring the times in question were ecclesiastics. There
can be no doubt but that the cathedrals and monasteries, erected firom the
time of the conquest to the close of the twelfth century, were for the most
part designed by churchmen, but the erection of these buildings, the slow
work of years, had by the time of their completion called into being another
and very dififerent class of artists : it was a great school in which the mere
workmen or masons {cementarii) became practically acquainted with those
theoretical principles, which had been scientifically elaborated by the church-
man in the sohtude of his cloister. The knowledge thus acquired they were
not long in applying on their own account, and it was extended and per-
petuated by their apprentices. Most of the cementarii whom we find
employed as architects during the thirteenth century came from cathedral
cities, and the neighbourhood of great monasteries ; from places distinguished
by magnificent monuments of architectural skill and splendour, in the works
of which they had been employed, as their masters or fathers were before
them, and in the general features and details of which they had studied as
in a great chart the sum of all the building craft of their time. To this class
of architects are to be added the goldsmiths, who, like their Italian brethren
of the same, or a somewhat later period, generally practised as architects,
sculptors, or rather modellers,' and painters.
' One of the bills of Adam of Shoreditch, the goldsmith of Edward I., is yet preserved in the Tower
(Rot. Miscell., No. 71) ; among the items of it we find " for the making of a child of silver riding upon
a horse of silver, made in the likeness of the lord Edward the King's son, and offered by the King's
order at the shrine of St. Alban, in the present year, and for the silver applied thereto, together
with the gilding of the same boy and horse, and weighing in all, xxvij.s. — ^Ixxij.s." This account is
of the 24th and 25th years of Edward's reign. The same Adam charges also for making a small cross
of gold fixed on the sceptre " of John de Balliol late King of Scotland ;" and for a great ruby and a
great emerald bought for the coronet of the King's daughter, the Countess of Holland, in the place
Ixxvii
ITie number of native artists, of every description, during the time of
Henry the Third could not have been inconsiderable. Architects, painters
and carvers in wood and stone must have been easily met with by the King's
sheriffs and officers, when we find works going on, simultaneously, in Berk-
shire, Middlesex, Surrey, Essex and Oxfordshire. Besides the royal resi-
dences other buildings of some pretension, castles, manor houses, monasteries
and parish churches were in progress about the same period; who were
concerned in their erection ? The sheriffs we may be sure did not import
architects and painters from France or Italy, nor is it reasonable to suppose
they were brought, at a great expense, to aid in the decoration of churches
and other edifices in remote parts of the country.
The most effectual method of testing the value of these inferences is to look
into the documentary evidence on which they are founded, and to note the
relative proportion of English and foreign artists therein mentioned. It
must be borne in mind, however, that the persons to be employed are rarely
designated in the royal precepts ; those, therefore, who are named were pro-
bably the most eminent men of the time in their respective professions ;
mediocrity is seldom in request and never immortalised but by accident.
We find but two names which are certainly foreign ; John of St. Omer
and Master Wilham, the Florentine, two painters ; the latter was also an
architect as we find him filling the post of master of the works at Guildford.
To these instances may be opposed a number of names undoubtedly Enghsh.
The architects of Westminster Abbey were Otho the goldsmith and Edward
his son, who went by the names of Fitz Otho, and Edward of Westminster.
Walpole supposed, from his name, that Otho was an ItaUan : if the name be
any certain index of his country, he was, more probably, a German. We,
however, believe that Otho was an EngUshman by birth, if not by descent.
We see that he was a goldsmith, and in those times, and in that particular
craft, the son generally succeeded to the father. Henry the Second appointed
of two stones which were lost when " the King cast the same coronet into the fire, at Ipswich, in
the beginning of the month of January." Another illustration of Edward's temper : see p. Ux. ante.
Ixxviii
Otho Young, or Le Jeune, to make the dies for the royal mint,' and it is no
great stretch of probability to suppose that Otho, the goldsmith of Henry the
Third, who had a son old enough to assist him in building the Abbey,
might have been himself the son of Otho le Jeune, the moneyer of Henry
the Second. To proceed with our hst : John of Gloucester, a mason and
statuary ; William, the monk of Westminster, who painted the " gestes" of
Antioch for Henry, and whom Walpole conjectured, without any reason, to
have been the person elsewhere called William the Florentine; master
Walter the king's painter; William of Gloucester, the goldsmith who cast
the brass figure for the tomb of Catharine, the infant daughter of Henry the
Third, believed to have been the first of the kind done in England f and
Walter of Colchester, sacristan of St. Albans, whom Matthew Paris, him-
self a tolerable draftsman, terms " pictor et sculptor incomparabilis"^ were
all Englishmen and generally employed by Henry ; doubtless many more
names might be found upon a minuter search than we have been able to in-
stitute : the rolls now published mention several individuals concerned, as
architects and statuaries, in the erection of Eleanor's crosses, who must have
been contemporaries of the persons enumerated above.
Having shewn that England was not entirely destitute of artists in the
thirteenth century, we may now consider the value of the conjectures which
have been advanced respecting the designer of Eleanor's crosses and eifigies.
All writers on the subject concur in attributing them to an Itahan, although,
so far as the crosses are concerned, we believe it would be impossible to
point out any one contemporary architectural erection in Italy, bearing the
slightest resemblance to their style. Walpole, whose utter darkness on the
subject of English mediaeval art was relieved only by the ghmmerino- light of
Vertue's collections, supposed the crosses to have been built after the designs
of Pietro Cavallini " whom, from various circumstances, he (Vertue)
discovered to be the architect of the shrine of Edward the Confessor."*
This remarkable discovery is soon disposed of. According to the best

authorities Cavallini was not born until 1279, nine years after the completion
of the shrine, and was, therefore, about eleven years old when Eleanor died.
Mr. Gough thought it possible the same artist might have executed the
Confessor's shrine, the tomb of Henry the Third and the crosses and monu-
ments of Eleanor ; but he rejected their attribution to Cavallini.'
One point in these theories is remarkable, an anxiety to identify the de-
signer of the shrine with the author of the later works ; and nothing shews
more clearly the hap-hazard manner in which their opinions were written,
than the ignorance of Walpole and his more learned successor Gough as to
whether the shrine of St. Edward was constructed by Henry the Third or by
Abbot Ware. A reference to contemporary chronicles, the most cursory
examination of the same authorities from which Vertue gleaned his notices of
painting during the thirteenth century, would have satisfactorily decided the
doubt. The shrine of the Confessor was erected at the expense of Henry ;
it was begun early in his reign and not completed until just before his death ;
in 1269 he solemnly translated the body of the royal saint from its old
resting place into the golden shrine " quod ei paraverat."^ This statement of
the continuator of Matthew Paris is susceptible of the most absolute proof.
In 1236, the twentieth year of his reign, we find Henry ordering his Trea-
surer to see that an image " ad similitudinem cujusdam regiruB" was made
after the fashion of one previously manufactured, to be put in the shrine.'
The superintendants of this work were the goldsmith Otho and his son
Edward, to whom we have before alluded as the architects of the Abbey :
Otho seems to have died during the progress of the shrine. In 1241 the
King directs the payment to " his beloved clerk " Edward Fitz-Otho of a
sufficient sum of money for the support of the goldsmiths, whom he had in
his employ at Westminster.* We find a notice, probably of nearly the same
date, that sixty marks were delivered to him " ad operationes pheretri Beati
Edwardi."^ This work proceeded slowly towards completion until the year

1267, when Henry's poverty compelled him to sell and pawn many of this
jewels with which he had enriched it. An inventory of the valuables thus
abstracted from the shrine is yet preserved, and enables us to form, in con-
junction with the present remains, a very clear idea of its elaborate magnifi-
cence.' If the inscription long since obHterated but preserved by Dart* and
copied in the Anecdotes of Painting,' be authentic, and according to which,
as it has been hitherto read, a certain " Petrus civis Romanm" executed the
shrine, we may observe that the expression " duxit in actum" cannot be
strained to mean more than that a Roman, named Peter, finished a work,
which we know to have been commenced and for some time continued by
others. The appropriation of the ornaments of the shrine to the relief of
Henry's necessities was made through the instrumentality of the Papal
Legate, who seems to have managed the whole affair. When those orna-
ments were restored, he may have recommended the employment of an
Italian, who could have done no more than perfect a design ready made to
his hand.

completed twenty, years before Eleanor's decease, we thereby provej that
the author of that work could not have been identical with the artist of the
tomb of Henry the Third and the crosses and eflBgies of the Queen, and so
extinguish an ignis fatuus that has long bewildered our antiquarian critics.
With respect to the monument of Henry the Third it has also been
supposed that when Edward the First returned through Italy from Syria, he
there found and brought with him to England some sculptor whom he em-
ployed to execute the tomb of his father. We have contemporary testimony
that he did purchase abroad a quantity of precious material, which he appUed
to the decoration of that work;' but no notice occurs of the importation of a
foreign artist ; that has been presumed. Now it must be evident to any one
who shall examine the effigies of Henry and Eleanor that they were de-
signed by the same person. A similar style of handling and detail pervades
both ; both are distinguished, particularly about the head, by a boldness and
simplicity of design which is conclusive evidence of their being the produc-
tions of one hand. Let us enquire how far this presumption is supported by
facts. From the Wardrobe Book of the 18th of Edward, we learn that
Henry's monument was not completed at the time of Eleanor's death : there
is a payment, in 1290, to Master Henry of Lewes for the iron work of "the
tomb of King Henry ;"* thus supposing the work to have been commenced
after Edward's return to England, in 1274, it had been in progress about
sixteen 3rears ; the probability, however, is that it was not begun so early :
but it is sufficient for the support of our opinion that the operations at
Henry^s tomb were incomplete in 1290, and that the effigies of Eleanor were
in hand in the following year : dates, facts and the resemblance of the style
of the two figures, aU strengthen the conclusion that they were designed by
the same individual. After stating who that individual was, we shall be able
to shew that the documents before us contain passages which refer apparently
to the effigy of Henry the Third as proceeding conjointly with the figures of
Eleanor. In the first place, however, let us hear Flaxman's opinion of the
statues and their artist.

" The statues have considerable simphcity and delicacy : they partake of
the character and grace particularly cultivated in the school of Pisano, and
it is not unUkely, as the septdchral statue and tomb of "Henry III. were exe-
cuted by Italians, that these statues' of Queen Eleanor might have been
done by some of the numerous travelling scholars of Pisano's school."*
This appears to us the most probable of the mere conjectures hitherto
advanced upon the subject in question. The roUs now printed inform us
that the designer of the effigies of .Eleanor for Westminster and Lincoln was
one Master " William Torel," a goldsmith ; the loose manner in which we
find all Italian and Spanish names written in early records, justifies the pre-
sumption that his real name was Torrelli, and that he was an Italian : it is
not impossible that he may have been identical with master William the
Florentine painter, who, as we have already seen, was employed by Henry
the Third, towards the latter end of his reign ; this would not interfere with
the supposition that he was a pupil of Nicolo Pisanoj who died in 1264.
In some of the entries respecting the effigies of Eleanor we find that To-
rel was engaged also upon the image of a king :' who was that King ? the
statue of Edward was not placed beside that of his consort on her tomb : it
does not seem probable that he ordered the preparation of his own monu-
ment seventeen years before his death, and there is every reason to believe
that no monumental figure of him was ever executed ; it is supposed that
his tomb was never completed owing to the troubles during the reign of his
unfortunate son. We beheve these items refer to the figure of Henry the
Third.
The statues of Eleanor were modelled in wax : there is an item for

bringing seven hundred and twenty-six pounds of wax from the house of
Tore! :' four hundred weight, three quarters and three pounds of the same
material were purchased for the modelling of the images over the Queen's
bowels at Lincoln, and her heart at the Black Friars, London,* three of these
which were of small size were "made and cast" by an Englishman, Wilham
of Suffolk ;' others were the work of a sculptor named Master Alexander of
Abingdon,* and another called " Dymenge de Legery" or "de Reyns;" they
also made the marble tomb at Lincoln on which was placed one of the large
effigies designed and cast by Torel.*
One thousand seven hundred pounds of metal were bought to make three
statues,^ and besides this there is a payment of fifty pounds, for the same
material,' which must have procured double the first named quantity, which
cost only 21Z. 135. 8d. Three hundred and fifty gold florins, which seem to
have been worth two and sixpence each,* were applied to the gilding of the
metal figures. In addition to images there were paintings on and around
Eleanor's tombs at Westminster and the Black Friars, which were executed
by Master Walter of Durham.' He was also employed at Westminster."*
The sum total of the money paid to Torel for the effigies of Eleanor
and of the King, (whoever he may have been) was 1 13^. G*. 8d. of the money
of that time, equal in value to about 1700/. of our present currency.
According to the theories of Walpole and Gough, Torel must have the
credit of designing the Crosses; but as his name is not mentioned in
connection with any one of them, we shall take the liberty to deny his
pretensions untU some better evidence in their favour shall be produced.
We find that only one foreigner is mentioned among the builders or carvers
of these monuments.

The crosses were nine in number, viz. at Lincoln, Northampton, Stony-
Stratford, Woburn, Dunstable, St. Albans, Waltham, Cheap and Charing :
that at Geddington, which is attributed to Edward, is not mentioned in the
rolls. Lincoln Cross was the work of Richard of Stowe, mason, fcemm-
tarim) ; those of Northampton, Stony Stratford, Wobum, Dunstaple and
St. Albans, were all built by John of Battle : Waltham by Roger de Crun-
dale in conjunction with Dymenge de Legeri or de Reyns; Cheap by
Michael of Canterbury; and Charing by Richard de Crundale, who died
before it was finished, when the works were carried on by Roger de Crundale
the joint builder of Waltham Cross. It appears that the decorated parts of
some of these monuments were worked in London, and sent to their several
sites. The figures of Eleanor with which they were adorned, bearing a
general resemblance to the efiigies of Torel from which they were probably
copied, were carved by Alexander of Abingdon and William of Ireland, the
latter of whom did some portions of the crosses at Lincoln and Northamp-
ton; the statues on Waltham Cross may have been the productions of
Dymenge de Legeri. The materials of the crosses were Caen stone, Sussex,
and Purbeck marbles. The figures were made of the former; those at
Charing expressly stated to have been the work of Alexander of Abingdon
were of Caen stone; as were those also at Waltham.'
The architectural antiquary, who shall take the trouble to peruse these
documents, will observe some minuter information respecting the construc-
tion of the crosses, the importance of which wiH be more obvious to him
than to the general reader, and the exact value of which it is his peculiar
province to explain.
The original rolls call for no particular remark. They are preserved
among the records in the custody of the Queen's Remembrancer.

III. Accounts and Memoranda of Sir John Howard,
Knt., first Duke of Norfolk.
Sir John Howard, knight, of Stoke by Neyland, in the county of SufiFolk,
was the eldest son of Sir Robert Howard, knt., by Margaret, daughter of
Thomas, and cousin and, eventually,- co-heir to John Mowbray, Dukes of
Norfolk. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed to
have occurred about the year 1430, as we find him knighted and serving in
France in 1452,' He was elected knight of the shire for Norfolk, through
the Mowbray interest, in the 32nd or 33rd of Henry the Sixth, 1454-5.'
He is supposed to have been a partisan of the Earl of Warwick against
Henry, and is said to have been marked for punishment about the time
of the deposition of that unfortunate sovereign.' Upon the assumption of
the crown by Edward the Fourth, Sir John Howard was made sheriff of
Norfolk and Suffolk, and rewarded for his serviced to the house of York by a
grant of certain manors forfeited by the attainders of the Earl of Wiltshire,
Sir Nicholas Latymer and Sir Thomas Daniell; of some of the property
thus acquired, viz. the manors of Dontish and Dewhsh, Co. Dorset, and of
Meyton Hall, Co. Norfolk, we find frequent mention in the following ac-
counts.
On the 6th of July 1461 he was made keeper of Colchester Castle,'' and
on the 28th of the same month received the appointment of one of the
King's carvers with an annual fee of forty pounds.* The post of Constable

of Norwich Castle was granted him on the 3rd of February, 1462,' and we
have his own authority, that this " konstabelshepe" was worth twenty
pounds per annum.'' These offices were secured to him by the acts of
resumption passed in the 1st and 4th of Edward.' In 1462, being associated
with the Lords of Fauconberg and CUnton in a commission to keep the seas,
he made a descent in Britanny and captured the town of Croquet and the
Isle of Rhee." About this time he began to build " the newe kervelle at
Donwiche" which was not finished till 1466 ; the cost of it is minutely re-
corded in the present accounts.' He undertook another voyage in the
autumn of 1463, as his steward notes " what stofFe for vytayles my mayster
hathe bowt at hys goying to the see.'"
Sir John served with the army of the north at the siege of Alnwick in the
months of December and January, 1462-3, and his accounts contain the
names of the men of Suffolk who probably fought under his banner.'
From October, 1463, to February, 1463-4,- he was in the retinue of the
Duke of Norfolk on the Welsh Marches :« we have the particulars of his ride
into the " northe kontery," and of his expenditure while resident at Holt
Castle in Denbighshire.^ In 1464 he bought the reversion of " the konstabels
chepe of Bramborow"orBamborough Castle, in Northumberland, of Robert
Bernard, for a bay courser and twenty pounds;'" it was worth "be3ere"
ten marks." At the latter end of the same year he was "certayn weke}'^
with the King at Reading, to whom he there presented, as a New Year's
gift a courser called « Lyard Duras," worth forty pounds ; and gave another
to the Queen, which was named " Lyard Lewe}" and cost him eight
pounds.
His first wife Catherine died about the 13th of November, 1465, probably

at Colchester. There are payments to her physicians, and items for various
medicines, among which we may note " water of honysoclys."
In 1466 Sir John was still busy in building the " new kervelle,"
which he seems to h^ve christened the " Mary Grase;"' he bought " an
ashe of ij. yerdes longe, for to make a lanteme and a stok for an ymage of
our lady/' In the same year he commanded the vessel which conveyed to
Calais the English Commissioners accredited to the Courts of Burgundy and
France." His steward notes that he was at Calais from the 1 5th of May to
the 17th of September.
In January 1467, we find Sir John Howard meeting the Ambassadors of
the Duke of Burgundy at Gravesend, whence he escorted them, in the
King's barge, to London.^ On the l7th or 18th of the same month he
married his second lady, Margaret, daughter of Sir John Chedworth, knt. ;
Lord Bergavenny sent him a doe, and Ordynge the cook of Eastcheap sup-
plied four pikes for his wedding feast.* In June of that year he accom-
panied the King's sister, Margaret, to Flanders, on her marriage with Charles,
Comte de Charolois, afterwards Duke of Burgundy. Shortly after this he
acted as Deputy Marshal for the Duke of Norfolk at the great jousting in
Smithfield, between Anthony, Lord Scales and the Bastard of Burgundy,
on which occasion he expended, on his lord's account, either two or three
hundred marks.'' It is probable that he brought over " the Bastard of Bur-
goyne'^ when he returned from Flanders; when that personage quitted
England Sir John seems to have escorted him to Calais.''
In November 1467, he was nominated a commissioner to arrange a peace
with France. It is worthy of remark that in the commission he is styled
" John Howard, knight, lord Howard ;" although he and Master Thomas
Brewse were elected knights of the shire for Suffolk in the preceding month
of April ; Sir John's election bill is a curious monument of the antiquity of
" treating:" the votes of the men of Suffolk were propitiated by plenty of

good eating. They consumed 8 oxen, 24 calves, the same number of sheep,
20 lambs, 30 pigs, 12 pheasants, 108 capons, 240 chickens, 120 rab-
bits, 800 eggs, 140 pair of pigeons, 32 gallons of milk, and besides hogsheads
of wine, drank 20 barrels of" dobelle here" and 16 of " syngelle here."'
His election cost him £40. l7s. 8d.
Soon after this. Sir John Howard was appointed Treasurer of the House-
hold, and received a grant of the profits of the coinage of the realm from
the 1st of October, 1468.^ He was summoned to Parliament as a Baron
by Henry the Sixth during his short return to power ; the writ being dated
on the 15th of October, 49 Henry VI. (10 Edw. IV.) 1470. This dignity
seems to have been given as a lure to attract him to the Lancasterian party j
it was not the reward of a desertion from his own faction ; for in the same
year Edward appointed him captain of his fleet;' and when he landed at
Ravenspur, in March 1471, Howard is said to have proclaimed him in
Suffolk.* Sir John was, in all probability, present at the battles of Barnet
and Tewkesbury in the same year; a list of his retainers in 1471, written
by himself occurs among the accounts.* His name appears among those
who on the 3rd of July, recognised Edward Prince of Wales as " undoubted
heyre" to the crown, and swore to take and accept him, if he survived his
father, for " true, veray and rightwis Kyng of England."^ At the close
of the year he was sent Deputy Governor to Calais.
On St. George's day, 1472, Lord Howard was elected a Knight of the
Garter;? as this is the latest date mentioned in his accounts our subsequent
notices of him become very scanty. In the month of June in that year, he
was sent with WiUiam Lord Hastings and other commissioners to treat with
the envoys of the Duke of Burgundy, relative to the pale of Picardy, and in
May, 1473, was again employed in a mission to Flanders.
He accompanied Edward on his invasion of France in 1475 ; concluded

the treaty which was the consequence of that expedition, and remained a
hostage for the due execution of it until the EngUsh army withdrew from
France, In the same year he obtained a grant of lands forfeited by the Earl
of Oxford,'
In 1476, Lord Howard and the Earl of Arundel were sent to France to
prolong the truce between that country and England, and in the following
year the reversion of the office of Constable of the Tower was given him, to
which he succeeded five years afterwards. He was appointed Admiral of
the Fleet against Scotland in 1479, and from this time we have no account
of him until after the death of Edward the Fourth, in 1483, at whose funeral
he bore the royal banner, as it would appear, officially.^
There is no evidence of the share he had in the elevation of Richard to
the throne ; but Sir Harris Nicolas observes, very justly, that " from motives
which cannot be misunderstood, even if they were not a reward for services
which were incompatible with his honour and with gratitude, no sooner did
Richard assume the royal dignity, than he bestowed on Lord Howard the
highest rank and most important offices to which a subject can aspire."'
On the 28th of June 1483, he was created Duke of Norfolk and Marshal of
England, with remainder to his heirs male. At the same time his son. Sir
Thomas Howard, was made Earl of Surrey.
Upon the .landing of the Earl of Richmond the Duke of Norfolk marched
to the assistance of Richard, and commanded the archers at Bosworth field,
where he fell on the 22nd of August, 1485. He was buried in the Abbey
church of Thetford and with his son, the Earl of Surrey was attainted by an
act passed in the 1st of Henry the Seventh.
We have already seen that he was twice married; by his first wife

Catherine, daughter of Thomas, Lord Molines, he had two sons, Thomas,
Earl of Surrey, and Nicholas who died young ; and four daughters, Aime,
Isabel, Jane and Margaret; by his second lady, Margaret, daughter of Sir
John Chedworth, knt., he had a daughter named Catherine, who became
the wife of John Bourchier, Lord Earners, the ever to be remembered
translator of Froissart.
Sir Harris Nicolas observes upon the public career of this distinguished
nobleman that " perhaps the only part of his conduct which is open to sus-
picion, is his having devoted himself to the Protector, in violation of the oath
he had taken to support the claim of the Prince of Wales ; and thus having
become the chief partisan of the supposed murderer of his illustrious patron's
children, and the usurper of their rights. But he was not a double traitor ;
and though gidlty of ingratitude and perjury towards the family of his former
master, he was faithful, even unto death, to the sovereign to whom he had
transferred his allegiance. That he might have made terms with the Earl
of Richmond cannot be doubted; and unless his fidelity to Richard be
attributed to a belief in the stability of his power, he must not be denied the
virtue of being loyal, at a moment when loyalty was dangerous, if not fatal,
and apostacy the path to Ufe and fortune."'
In illustration of his private character we shall here reprint two of his
letters divested of their antique and uncouth orthography. The first is
indicative of his temper; the second of his strict management of his
property.

The following was written, probably, while he was Deputy-Governor of
Calais, and is addressed to one of his bailiffs.

The accounts of Sir John Howard being in English and presenting no
peculiar diflaculties to the general reader, it is not necessary to enter into
any lengthened notice of their contents. Upon comparing them with the
Household Roll of the Countess of Leicester we naturally perceive a very
great difference between the state of domestic affairs and of society in the
thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. The increase of population has occa-
sioned a greater division of labour, and those arts, which at the former period
were generally carried on by the domestics of every family of consequence,
now support persons who make them the means of an independent liveli-
hood. Brewing and baking have become profitable trades, and the tailor
has ceased to be a domestic servant. The Countess of Leicester was
accompanied by her tailor Hicqe even when she travelled ; Sir John Howard
indeed buys his own cloth, of Porter the draper of Candlewick street, but he
employs Leonard the tailor of Southwark to make it up. Notwithstanding
the country had long suffered from civil commotions it is obvious that wealth
is greatly increased j inns have been established in country towns; a
traveller no longer takes with him his wine and provisions as did the Earl
of Leicester ; taverns have arisen in London and become places of common
resort for people of rank; " Mastres Ysabell" lodges at the Bell in West-
minster, and her father Sir John takes his wine and " waffers" at the Sun
in Lombard Street, or breakfasts with my Lord Audley at the Greyhound
in Eastcheap. The same increase of wealth has brought with it a cor-
responding degree of luxury in dress and the general conveniences of life :
the Countess wore some garments of sheepskin and was content with
wooUen gowns of which the nap was shorn more than once. My Lady
Howard has her " plytes of fyne lawne" and Humphrey Gentili the Lom-
bard supplies Sir John with costly cloths of damask, satin, and velvet upon
velvet " pyrled with goold." In the age of the Countess ladies arranged
their dress with skewer-like implements, but fair ''^mastres Anne" Howard
used " fine pynnes." It is more than probable that neither the Earl nor
his wife could read, much less write ; their daughter Eleanor, indeed, had
a breviary written by an Oxford clerk, as much for show perhaps as use ;
but Sir John Howard writes an able letter and reads at his leisure a
" Yenglyshe boke calyd Dives et Pauper." Of all things the means of com-
xcm
munication between distant places was, perhaps, the least improved, roads
and bridges were still wanting : Dobbe the shepherd guides the Countess
of Leicester from Odiham to Porchester, and Sir John on his road to
Chester gives a penny " to a mayde that tawte the wey ovyr Tyddysbery
(Didsbury) forthe."
It would be easy to institute a more minute and less desultory comparison
between the manners of the two periods, as illustrated by the present work.
The Accounts of Sir John Howard shew the state of almost every department
of domestic economy in his time : we have payments to bakers and brewers,
builders, armourers, and shipwrights ; silversmiths, mercers, drapers, tailors
and cordwaners ; to seamen, soldiers and servants ; they contain notices of
farming and stocking fishponds ; and taken in conjunction with the Paston
Letters they furnish the liveUest picture we possess of any period anterior to
the invention of printing.
XCIV
We have now to give some description of the two manuscripts from which
the Howard Accounts have been printed. The first is in the valuable col-
lection of Sir Thomas PhilUpps, Bart., at Middle HiU, who purchased it at
the sale of the library of the late Mr. Craven Ord : the second is now the
property of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk ; it formerly belonged to the
well known Peter le Neve, Norroy King at Arms, who has written on a fly-
leaf at the beginning of the volume — " brought from Framlingham Castle in
Suff., given to me by Mr. Thomas Martin, attorney at law, of Palgrave in
SuiF., 1727." Martin, it is beheved, was likewise the owner of the former,
as it was seen in a collection in SufibUc by Sir John Fenn, who extracted
from it and printed the biU of the " limpnour of Bury,"' as a note in the
second volume of the Paston Letters,* the originals of which belonged also
to Martin. Both volumes are of the quarto size and written on paper, two or
three fohos only in the Middle HUl MS. are of vellum.
It win be seen that the entries are made very irregularly ; accounts of
different years are intermixed and occur sometimes on the same page ; this
has led to a supposition that they were originally mere loose papers, which
have been at some period bound together without any attempt to reduce
them to order. To this opinion we do not subscribe, believing from a care-
ful examination, that the volumes were always distinct, and that they are
now in nearly the same state as when first written. In the Middle HLU MS.
some folios have evidently been transposed during the process of re-binding ;
these we have restored to their proper positions.
Many portions of the accounts are common to both volumes ; and as the
Middle Hill MS. is, generally speaking, the best of the two, we have given
the variations of identical passages in the Norfolk MS, in the shape of foot-
' p. 419 seq. ^ pp. ig.jy.
xcv
notes to it, and have entirely omitted them in printing the latter. The only
liberty taken with the text has been that of extending contracted words and
inserting a few points. It would, doubtless, have added to the value of the
work if all the accounts had been reduced into strict chronological order, but
this, in addition to being a work of very great labour, would have rendered
the process of collation extremely difficult, besides giving an imfaithful pre-
sentment of the MSS. as they now exist, and as we beheve them to have
been originally written. It wiU be obvious that the text is susceptible of
greater illustration in the form of notes, but as it was desirable to print both
MSS. their very extent precluded the adoption of a plan which would have
materially increased the size of this volume.
The Readers of this Work will sufficiently appreciate the UberaUty of His
Grace the Duke of Norfolk and Sir Thomas PhiUips in contributing these
unpublished documents, which have so materially enhanced the value of this
Collection.

commencement of the roll is lost. The account in its present state begins on the 19th

in the same year ; it is pro^bable, however, that the conclusion of it is also wanting j but
this point, and the internal evidence by which the date of the roll is thus ascertained, have

3 The Chancellor at this period was Thomas de Cantilupe, Archdeacon of Stafford.
He was chosen by the party of the Earl of Leicester, received the Great Seal on the
Wednesday next after the Feast of St. Peter in Cathedra, 26th of February, 1266, and was
constituted Chancellor, with an annual fee of 500 marks, for the support of himself and
his Clerks, by Patent dated on the 26th of March, in the same year. To the enrolment
of this document is added a curious note, stating that the King " folded the Patent with
his own hands and caused it to be sealed in his presence." — Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. HI., m. 18.
He held office until the 10th of August following, and was then succeeded by Walter Gif-
fard. Bishop of Bath and Wells. Thomas de Cantilupe was, afterwards, Bishop of Here-
ford and Chancellor of the University of Oxford ; he died on his journey homewards,
from Rome, on the 25th of August, 1282, and was canonised.

2 Whitsunday fell on the 24th of May, in 1265. 1st of June.
* Edmund, second sou of Richard, King of the Romans, but the eldest by his second
wife Sanchia, daughter of Raimond-B6renger, Earl of Provence, succeeded his father,
as Earl of Cornwall, in 1271, and was one of the Regents of England from the demise of
Henry the Third, in 1272, until the arrival of Edward the First, in 1274. He died in 1308,
without issue, when the title became extinct, his younger brother, Richard, having been
killed at the siege of Berwick, in 1296.
* Robert Baynard, a draper and merchant of London, banished from the city for his
adherence to the Earl of Leicester. MS. Harl. 690, S. 131, 132.
6 The Hadestocks, or Hadestokes, were eminent citizens and merchants of London in
the time of Henry the Third ; no particular notice is found respecting Philip in the chro-
nicles of the times, but it appears, by the Patent Roll, 49 Henry HI., that Simon and WU-
liam de Hadestoke were of the party in the City of London which sided with the Earl of
Leicester, and forfeited their possessions, after the battle of Evesham.
? Lucas de Lucca, an Italian merchant settled in London, he was afterwards much
employed by Edward the First, in contracting loans, and in other political affairs.

1 Simon de Montfort, junior, was appointed Constable of Porchester Castle, by Patent,
dated 24th of December, 1264 ; Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. III., m. 26 : he appears to have held
it until the battle of Evesham : Rot. Claus., 49 Hen. HI., m. 5.
^ The manor of Chalton, or Chawton, in Hampshire, belonged to the Earl of Leicester.
The following curious valuation of it, made after the battle of Evesham, in which mention
is made of two persons whose names occur in this roll, viz. the Rector of Catherington,
who has been frequently noticed as being with the Countess, and Robert Corbet, p. 46 seq.,
is translated from the original in the Tower.
" Inquisition taken upon the oath of 12 freemen of the Hundred of Finchesden, (Finch-
dean) &c
Who say that the manor of Chauton was sometime of the Lord Simon de Montfort, Earl
of Leicester, and he held in capite of the Lord the King, and was the King's enemy j and
they say that the aforesaid manor is worth, per annum, iiij." li., in all issues ; and afterthe
battle of Evesham it was seized by Henry Husse, to the use of the Lord Edward j and they
say that the rent, for the term of St. Michael, is xviij.li. x.s., and that rent was received by
Stephen the Marshal of the Lord Edward, and by Richard de Putlyhe, the bailiff of
the place, and GeoflFrey the reeve of the place ; and tliey say that the land of Sir Robert
Corbat, who was the enemy of the Lord the King, is worth, per annum, c.s., whereof the
rent, for the term of St. Michael, is vj.s. iiij.d., and it was received by Geoffrey Eynon, the
bailiff of Sir Henry Husse, before the Feast of St. Michael, who seized that land after the

* The printing of the roll had proceeded thus far, when the Editor was enabled to ascer-
tain the correct name of this person, who is so frequently mentioned in it. It appears by
a writ, directed to the sheriff of Northampton, dated on the 24th of September, 1265, that
upon the surrender of the castles of Berkhampstead and Wallingford, after the battle of
Evesham, Prince Edward granted a full pardon to Richard de Haveringe, (see pp. 24, 29,
30, ante,) Seman de Stokes, William de Turvey, and John de Haveringe, i^ch (he King

5 Thomas de Piulesdon or Piwelesdon, a noted London demagogue, and partizan of
the Earl of Leicester. He was elected Constable by the commons of London shortly before
the battle of Lewes, at the same time that they chose a Marshal in the person of Stephen
Bukerel; and it was enacted that upon their summons, and the tolling of the great bell of
St. Paul's, either by day or night, all the men of the city should assemble, well armed,
and follow the banners of the said Constable and Marshal. — " Afterwards Hugh le
Despenser, the Justitiary, who then kept the Tower, with a great body of the people went
forth from the city, following the banners of the said Constable and Marshal ; and they
knew not whither they were to go, or what was to be done ; and they were led to.Isleworth,
and there they razed and burned the manor of the King of Germany, and stole all the
goods found therein, and destroyed his mills and fishponds ; no truce being observed
during the sitting of the said Parliament, (at Oxford.) And this was the beginning of

the Corporation of London ; it was written by an officer of the city who was a contem-
porary and witness of these troubles. For this outrage upon the property of the King of
the Romans, the Citizens were subsequently compelled to pay a fine of 1000 marks.
Thomas de Piwelesdon forfeited his possessions after the death of the Earl of Leicester,
and they were divided between Henry, son of the King of the Romans, and Prince Edward.

^ In explanation of the correspondence which the Countess appears to have maintained
with Bigorre, in Gascony, it may be remarked that Petronilla, Countess of Bigorre, in her
own right, married, in 1216, Guy de Montfort the brother of the Earl of Leicester, and
second son of Simon de Montfort, first Earl of Leicester of his name, distinguished in
the annals of the crusades against the Albigeois. This Guy was slain, in 1220, at the siege
of Castelnaudari. Petronilla, Countess of Bigorre, survived five husbands and died in
1261. L'Art de Verifier les Dates. Richard de Montfort, mentioned above, was, unques-

and a large sum of money, 11,000 marks. Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. HL, m. 2, in dorso. See

ADDITIONAL NOTES.
Upon a reperusal of the foregoing sheets the following observations and corrections
appear to be needed with respect to some of the notes ; the illustrations of the text having
been almost solely obtained froni manuscript sources, it often occurred that the infor-
mation required and diligently, but unsuccessfully, sought for, has presented itself acci-
dentally in the course of an entirely different enquiry.
Page 10, note 6. — Almaric de Montfort was not the youngest, but \he^ fourth son of the
Earl of Leicester ; Richard de Montfort was the fifth and youngest. See p. 74, note 2,
and Appendiai, no. III. " Master A. de Belestede," mentioned in the same entry with
Almaric, was Keeper of the temporalities of the Archbishopric of York, sede vacante.
Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. III., m. 25. He was pardoned and taken under the King's protection,
notwithstanding that he had been for some time in the service of the King's rebels, I6th
of August, 1265. Ibid., m. 10.
Page 18, note 3. — It may be observed, in confirmation of the doubt expressed respecting
the identity of the Countess of Gloucester named in the text, that Matilda, mother of Gil-
bert de Clare, seventh Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, was yet living in 1265. Rot. Pat.,
49 Hen. III., m. 22.
Page 34, line 13. — The payment to a messenger going to York, on the business of Al-
maric de Montfort, may be explained by the fact that he had been appointed Treasurer of
the See of York, 7th of February, 1265. Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. III., m. 24. See Appendiw,
no. I.
Page 46, note l.~Ingeram Baliol is mentioned, among several other adherents of the
Earl of Leicester, in a writ commanding the surrender of a Castle, the name of which is
not inserted in the record. Rot. Pat., 49 Hen, III., m. 12, in dorso. Upon reviewing the
evidence which led to the suggestion, that he might have been a son of John Baliol " who
was captured at the battle of Lewes," the Editor considers it too slight to be admitted.
Ibid., line 5, note 3. — The name printed Moncens, in the text, and which is conjectured
in the note, to be identical with Munchensy, ought, perhaps, to be read Monceus, as there
is an enrolment of a pardon granted, in 1266, to " fValerand de Munceaus," for all trans-
gressions committed by him, during " the late commotion in the realm of England."
Rot. Pat., 50 Hen. III., m. 11, in cedula.
Page 71, line 14.— Baterichesdene appears to have been the ancient name of Bethersden,
near Ashford, in Kent.

concesserimus providere dilecto nobis Edmundo de Mortuomari in ecclesi-

Monteforti, quondam Comitem Leycestriae, et fautores suos ex altera, apud
Lewes, extiterimus in eustodia preefati Simonis et aliorum fantorum suorum ;
per quod, tempore ipsius eustodise, contra voluntatem nostram preefatus
Comes litteras sigiUo nostro, quo non nos sed Comes ipse pro suo utebatur
arbitrio, signari fecit, continentes quod nos Thesaurariam Eboracensem, tunc
vacantem, Almarico de Monteforti concessimus ; et vobis mandavimus quod
eidem Almarico staUum in choro et locum in capitulo assignaretis : ac nos,
per Dei adjutorium, vires nostras resumpserimus, per quod concessionem
illam et alias qua per litteras nostras, nobis invitis, factee fuerant, dum in
eustodia praedicta eramus, volumus revocari etannuUari, immo nullas haberi ;
et Thesaurariam ipsam jam sponte praefato Edmundo concessimus ; et
ideo vobis mandamus quod, amoto quolibet detentore, eidem Edmundo
stallum in choro et locum in capitido, prout moris est, assignetis. In cujus
rei testimonium, has litteras nostras fieri fecimus patentes.

pro certo inteUexerimus quod Alienora Comitissa LeycestrifB, nuper Alma-

APPENDIX.
There is an entry on paffe 11.0 of a payment of thirty-nine shillings for a cup purchased
and given " cuidam menestrallo Regis CampanicB." The King alluded to was, it is presumed,
a King among minstrels only, and the minstrel so liberally rewarded one of his retainers.
In illustration of this fact, of the gradations of rank among the minstrels of the thir-
teenth century, and of the rewards bestowed upon them, the following highly valuable roll
is now for the first time printed. It is preserved among the records in the custody of
the Queen's Remembrancer, and contains the names of the minstrels who played before
King Edward the First at the Feast of Whitsuntide, A.D. 1306, when he held a cour
plenihe at Westminster, and also at the New Temple, London, because " the royal palace,
although large, was, nevertheless, small for the crowd of comers ;"' and conferred the
honour of knighthood upon his son Prince Edward and a great number of the young
nobility and military tenants of the crown, who were summoned to receive it, preparatory
to the King's expedition into Scotland to avenge the murder of John Comyn and the
revolt of the Scotch.
This document may serve also to elucidate the points disputed by Dr. Percy and Joseph
Ritson, respecting the country and dignity of the minstrels who frequented England in
early times. " In the reign of Edward I., it seems, a multitude of minstrels are
expressly mentioned to have given their attendance in his court, at the solemn act of
knighting his son. This is sufficiently credible, but will by no means prove them to have
been Englishmen."^ It will be observed that Ritson's suspicion was correct ; there can
be no reasonable doubt but that many of the persons named in this roll were Frenchmen.
He is less fortunate in a subsequent assertion : " as to dignity, it is pretty clear they
never had any to lose :"3 here Dr. Percy has clearly the advantage of his antagonist, for
the roll distinctly separates the commonalty of minstrels from the Kings and more eminent
performers; the remuneration given being proportioned to the rank of the indivi-
duals.

' It would appear from this entry that Sir John Howard was one of the Commissioners
of the Admiralty, although the exact period of his appointment has not been discovered.
